XGEN, a retargetable code generator for risc, cisc, vliw machine.

It uses XOC IR as the input representation, and convert XOC IR to XGEN's OR and SR.

XGEN includes IR2OR convertion, register allocation, instruction scheduling, peephole optimizations, target dependent loop unrolling, instruction packaging, and assembly file print.

usage:

1. clone xoc project

    git clone https://github.com/stevenknown/xoc.git

2. copy mach, com, reader, elf and opt into xgen directory

    cd xgen    
    cp -rf ../xoc/elf ../xoc/mach ../xoc/com ../xoc/opt ../xoc/reader ../xoc/Makefile.xoc ../xoc/Makefile.option ../xoc/Makefile.xoc.inc .    

3. clone xocfe project

    git clone https://github.com/stevenknown/xocfe.git

4. copy xocfe/src/cfe into xgen directory

    cd xgen    
    cp -rf ../xocfe/src/cfe .    

5. Build xocc

    cd xgen/xocc
    make xocc.exe -f Makefile.xocc TARG=FOR_ARM TARG_DIR=../arm DEBUG=true    

6. Install arm-assembler, arm-linker:

    sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf    

7. Install qemu-arm:

    sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static       

8. Test xocc.exe
   write hello.c

    xocc.exe hello.c -o hello.s
    arm-linux-gnueabihf-as hello.s -o hello.o
    arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc hello.o -o hello.out
    qemu-arm -L /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf hello.out

9. cd xgen/test and there are a lot of testfiles wrote in C or GR language.
   e.g: Run testcases in 'exec':

    cd exec     
    perl ./run.pl      

It will show you all commandlines provided by run.pl,    
Try and see the simplest test:    

    perl ./run.pl Targ = arm      

You can see all C files under 'exec' will be compiled by xocc.exe and running on qemu-arm.    
e.g2: Run single case in 'exec':    

    perl ./run.pl Targ = arm Case = shift.c
