Re: [v8-users] 32-bit powerpc -- a lost cause?

Based on current priorities, going forward 32 bit is not going to be a priority. We will not be testing it in v8 or the Node.js repos. On Tuesday, August 1, 2017 at 10:40:32 AM UTC-4, Håvard Eidnes wrote: > > Hi, > > although NetBSD runs on various PPC hardware, some possibly also with no >

Re: [v8-users] 32-bit powerpc -- a lost cause?

Hi, although NetBSD runs on various PPC hardware, some possibly also with no FPU, my personal interest is in >= G4 (possibly >= G3), which AFAIK means 32-bit but with FPU. However, reading what you write I get the sense that you're going to drop all 32-bit PPC support? Regards, - Håvard

Re: [v8-users] 32-bit powerpc -- a lost cause?

Hi, We currently do not support PPC 32bit hardware and going forward with Node8 will be dropping support for PPC 32bit mode builds on PPC 64bit architecture. Also, it is possible the 32 bit PPC system you are using is only implementing a subset of the architecture and missing FPU. Regards,

Hey Håvard, The ppc port is not maintained by the V8 team itself, but by IBM (see src/ppc/OWNERS). I don't know about the state and scope of the port. Maybe you want to reach out to the port owners. -- Benedikt On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 7:39 PM Håvard Eidnes wrote: >

Hi, I stumbled in on v8 via node.js -- v8 now appears to have some powerpc support, and I managed to get node.js to link on my NetBSD/macppc 8.0_BETA system after some persuasion. However, it dumps core with illegal instruction on the first attempt at running "node", and by the looks of it
