Philip Herron and Arthur Cohen presented an
update on the “gccrs” GCC front end for the Rust language at the
2022 Kangrejos conference. Less than
two weeks later — and joined by David Faust — they did it again at the 2022 GNU Tools Cauldron.
This time, though, they were talking to GCC developers and refocused their
presentation accordingly; the result was an interesting look into the
challenges of implementing a compiler for Rust.
