Flexible intrinsics for my minimal code generator

• movfuscator

  82 9,013 0.0 C

  The single instruction C compiler

This has been done previously take for example the movfuscator a C compiler that emits only mov instructions. In fact any turing complete instruction can be used instead of mov. To the why it is not done in mainstream compiler well because specific instructions are faster and they make the code smaller. By the way the x87 fpu instructions are deprecated so it is a good thing that you removed them.

• Cleavir

  3 45 6.6 Common Lisp

  an implementation-independent framework for creating Common Lisp compilers

  

I think something similar has come up with the Cleavir framework; there are currently separate instruction types for arithmetic operations, but it has been proposed to replace them with fewer types, because there is little use in specific types. Register allocation is specified the hard way currently, while as you say, the complexity even for x86-64's multiplication and division instructions is just in forcing use of the right input and output registers.
