[Cegcc-devel] WinPhone8 and gcc, any info?

[Pavel P. <pa...@su...>]

Hello all, it seems that cegcc is quite dead, or people who use it are happy with it (just like me).

I'm building my code for WinPhone7 and everything worked out of the box. I mainly use cegcc for code with att-style asm, or I use gnu assembler. I compile static libs with it and link it with regular tools from MS.

Now, with WinPhone8 it rejects the libs as invalid. Upcoming VisualStudio and Windows 8 have ARM support out of the box. armasm (which looks too similar to armasm that comes with arm's dev tools) lists three types of machine targets: arm, thumb, armce. Any idea what's different? Do they use different object format (quite unlikely), or they simply added different CPU id for otherwise identical objects?

Since Windows 8 ads native arm support, perhaps gcc/mingw will add full support for windows/arm as well. Any info on that?
