To put our 3 cents here, [we](https://github.com/paritytech) also need it. We are (well, it's mostly me right now since it's still a prototype) currently building [a virtual machine that is based on RV32E](https://github.com/koute/polkavm) (and in the future also RV64E), and, long story short, thanks to the magic of RV32E it achieves execution performance roughly the same as [wasmtime](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime) (which is a state-of-art WASM VM) while compiling into native code over ~200 times faster and being orders of magnitude simpler (because you can mostly naively translate RV32E machine code 1-to-1 into native AMD64 code as the reduced number of registers makes this barely possible, and the code is still very fast). As far as testing this patch, as a fairly decent test case I've used one of the previous versions to compile DOOM into RV32E and ran it under our VM (in fact, [you can play it here it you want](https://github.com/koute/polkavm/tree/master/examples/doom)), so the patch definitely works. Anyway, people are underestimating RV32E thinking it's only for bottom tier microcontrollers, but this couldn't be further from the truth. It's not perfect, but it's also a really great VM bytecode; dare I say, I think it's a better WASM than WASM for non-Web uses. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/76777 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
