Today I am proud to announce a combo of releases with major milestones.
First stage0, reached Release version 0.2.0; which includes the following:
A 250byte hex0 bootstrap binary that is self-hosting and builds hex1,
which builds hex2, which bootstraps M0 macro assembly which has been
used to make:
The world's FIRST C compiler written in M0 macro assembly, supporting:
structs
unions
inline assembly
function pointers
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/stage0.git/tree/stage2/cc_x86.s
which is capable of compiling reproducibly:
The newly released M2-Planet V1.0
https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet
Which is a self-hosting C compiler which is 100% deterministic by design
with support for all the features needed to build the pieces of:
mescc-tools
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/mescc-tools
which is capable of building M2-Planet from it's M1 macro seed.
Soon we hope to finish the MesCC bootstrap from M2-Planet and then we
will have a complete bootstrap path from 250byte hex0 all the way up to
gcc ^_^

Interesting... I'm looking at
https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet/blob/master/seed.M1
How was it written? It seems like a monumental task to write all that
and keep enough context in one's head! Then again, I have never written
assembly before...

Wow! Just Wow!
I have a question though. It sounds like a bunch of
this is assembly...Is assembly portable? AKA does/will this
bootstrapped C only be able to run on Intel chips?
I suppose that even if it did, you could cross compile it to other
architectures...
