UASM Planning

[johnsa]

Hey all,

Just to let you know there will be a small update to UASM soon, 2.47.2 which includes several encoding+warning fixes.
This will be it for this year.

The plan going forward for UASM is as follows:

2.48) GOT/PLT support + CodeGenV2 #1
2.49) COMDAT Folding improvement + CodeGenV2 #2
2.50) Dwarf debugging support + CodeGenV2 #3

The idea is the new codegen system which will be much easier to maintain and be considerably faster will just plug-in in front of the existing codegen. Any instruction not supported yet will just fall through to the normal codegen so we can implement it incrementally.

Still hoping someone will offer some thoughts on the Linux post I made some time back! :)
