[ANN] GCC 12.0.1/Apple silicon

From Simon Wright@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 23 21:08:25 2022

Find GCC 12.0.1 and tools for M1 Macs at https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases/tag/aarch64-apple-darwin21-1.

About double the size of the x86_64 (Intel) equivalent.

Great news!
I might take the plunge and get a new MBP now.
Many thanks for this, Simon.

Not so great. Any idea why? Is it a Universal 2 binary?

BTW I took advantage of an iMac in John Lewis last week and verified that
my (x86_64) KDF9 emulator runs perfectly on Apple Silicon under Rosetta 2.

Since I also have an RPi400 ARM version
(which is about the same size as thex86_64 version)
I expect no great problem with Ada on Apple Silicon.

The only problem I had building for the RPi 400 is
that GNAT did not want to do link-time optimization.

Hi Simon,

Amazing! I was just vacillating over the purchase of a new Mac Studio
and within 6 hours of that moment along comes your great news about Ada
on Apple Silicon. Fantastic stuff. Thanks so much for your efforts.

Cheers,
Leo

This is *deeply* embarrassing.

It's actually an x86_64 compiler.

The reason it's twice as large is because it also contains an arm-eabi compiler.

OK, the *actual* M1 compiler & tools is at https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases/tag/aarch64-apple-darwin21-2

All's well that ends well. 8-)

It works great. Thanks for all your hard work packaging Gnat for M1!
