But there isn't only one kind of CPU in the world.   There are many
from the ARM to Z13, including such oddities as Tilera and not
forgetting PowerPC, Renesas, Freescale and many others.

Only one kind of CPU in the world.  What?

Barb -- Windows runs on both Intel x86 and Arm and amd64 (x88_64)
and GCC 4.3.5 still supported VAX on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
IA64 is the Itanium.  I think that gcc still runs on Alpha and Itanium VMS.
Vax support of VMS GCC bitrotted away a while ago, I think.

I don't know if PDP11 cross compilation works anymore but I have 
older GCC that should work somewhere downstairs on a CDROM from the 
1990s...

Some of the below are cross compilation targets, I think but still it's not
ONE cpu type.

Current list of supported GCC targets:

That's a list of what has been or is supported over the years.  Are there
really edit trails for each one; and none have been remastered?  Sounds
like a headache waiting to explode.

So how is the C compiler code organized?  I would have a module for each
CPU type instead of conditionals.  Or does the C compiler code use a
default based on the system doing the build unless a /CPU switch
is on the COMPILE C.* command line?

You don't understand modern source control.   There is a edit trail
for the entire collection (that's the final C in GCC - Gnu Compiler
Collection).

Remastering isn't required in modern source control systems, which
allow you to recreate the project at any point in time (by date or
by version).

Each compiler in the collection can be considered to be a combination
of a front-end (language specific) which produces a language-independent
parse tree,  a global optimizer that optimizes the intermediate tree
and a back-end code generator (target processor specific) that actually
generates the object code based in the intermediate tree (and performs
certain target specific peephole optimizations).

So, the C, COBOL, FORTRAN, et alia front-ends all generate an intermediate
tree that is processed by the optimizer and then passed to the target-specific
back-end.  The interfaces between the passes (they're not really passes, but
you can conceptually think of them that way) are standard so any front-end
can generate intermediate trees that all the back-ends will be able to
process and generate code for.

When you build a compiler, it can be built either native (generates code
for the host OS/processor it was built with) or cross (generates code for a different
target processor/OS).   I use both forms daily.

It is very well organised. This is one suite which compiles
c, c++, fortran, cobol and maybe some others. They built an
internal representation, and then massage it for optimisation
and code generation.

Yes, Barb, there is a log of every edit committed to the source
control system gcc has been in since, if not day one, very early.

I downloaded the code and unfortunately ran out of disk space on the antique
dual core laptop.

There's a pile of directories under the "common" directory for each cpu
architecture.

Configuration is handled by a configuration program that tries to autoconfigure
the compiler based on the architecture and os...

You have to build it to appreciate how much work went into automating the 
process.  First time I saw this was the rn news reader in '86.

There are shell level tests for standard unix program utilities and libraries
which build a config file.  When I used to build this stuff in 86 or so
I think I did all the configuration editing manually... back in the 2.8 or 2.9
days IIRC.

Anyway... I've added an external USB drive to this $30 Thinkpad and I'm going 
through the build again.  Takes a while.

I've done enough design of build procedures and packaging to have a glimmer
of appreciation ;-).

The TOPS-10 monitor builds could be canned.  We would ship TOPS10.RELs
which had all the rels except for the site configuration dependent
modules which required a compilation of COMMON, COMMOD, COMDEV, S,
F, and ..... (poof! went the last filename).  Then the RELs of
these assemblies could be PIPed together with the appropriate TOPS10.REL,
then LINKed to generate the EXe.

You are painting too rosy picture.  Recently I compiled
gcc from sources to get cross compiler targeting ARM,
more precisely Cortex-M.  Using natural arguments to
configure I got compiler that worked on simple programs
but more complicated ones were crashing.  After some
debugging I realized that one of compiler support routines
were assembled as 32-bit ARM code, but Cortex-M only
supports Thumb so processor were crashing on invalid
opcode.  After some fiddling with configure I found
options which resulted in correct Thumb code.
You may call this user error (apparently
problem is known to gcc developers and they do not
think there is anything to fix), but such problems
are almost impossible to resolve without debugging
at machine code level.

More generally gcc has quite a lot of bugs.  It is
quite possible that all tricky fragments of your
programs are in gcc bug database so gcc developers
make sure they compile correctly.  But I have seen
enough gcc bugs to have somewhat limited trust.
If you manage to find new uses not covered by
existing bug database (not easy since database is
large), then you are likely to hit bugs.

And there is a lot of development effort spent
on gcc.  Most of my coding is with different
(not C) compilers and then hitting bugs is
much more likely.

Perhaps.

Or use a different compiler.

I learnt a lesson from a PPOE which had _really_ high monetary values
hanging directly on the correctness of complex computations.

Do TWO systems. With public specs, and public comms protocols, and
have verifiers running on all external (and some internal) interfaces.

And don't share a single bit of hardware or software between the
two systems.

Nor have the two development teams interact through any private means, 
have all communications public.

We can actually get there today, with Linux and BSD and carefully
selected hardware and tools. Gives the bugs a run for their existence.

For safe programming practice enabling simple calculations, suitable for
all ages outside the range of, say, 10 to 75, it is sufficiently easy to
write a JavaScript sand-box in an HTML page.  The basic idea is to show
the result of the value of a textarea in a form - eval(Frm0.TA1.value);.

NOT PI-TESTED.


There must be at least one JavaScript engine in an Internet-supporting
Pi distribution; with that, it might not be too difficult to make a
browser support HTA coding and/or an equivalent to Windows Script Host,
both of which support general un-sandboxed coding.

I would agree, but with the caveat that I did 6502 assembler in the
late 70's as part of my career studies and it is about as much use to
me these days as a chocolate kettle. Technology rapidly overtakes
learning.

Generic "school machine" assembler is enough. I learned one such...

Much the same as the PDP8 which formed the teaching example
of electronics at Essex in 69 - 72. Not much call these days to
design core stores. Half-select noise, anyone?

Used in computing in 1974 when I was there for a year. They had a 'paper' 
version of it too.

One nice thing about the PDP8 documentation, a convention that we seem
to have lost these days, is that you also got a complete description of all
the I/O at the register level and how to drive it.

True. Although it was very simple I/O. DMA and interrupts were fairly 
rarely used in practice.

But once that you have such principles under your belt, then all I/O
becomes simple for you; might take some winding of the handle and
a little more time to program, but remains conceptually simple.

Nonsense.   Nothing prevents one from doing low-level programming
on any of the SBCs (Single Board Computers[*]).     There's no reason
to force everyone to write their own operating system, so having a
linux distribution for the SBC significantly increases the applicability
of the SBC to multiple problem sets.

[*] e.g raspberry pi, odroid, et alia
