In runtime/CMakeLists.txt, we can see it is built with -ffreestanding, which requires the compiler to avoid using a runtime library by itself. While this requires us to make our own syscalls, it does simplify our linker a lot, which is very limited and can only do basic function name resolving. However, this is a big improvement in comparison with programmatically generating the code in assembly language using MCInsts. |
