maintained anymore.
It's not completely a dead end on Windows. SimulAVR builds for Windows;
it's unknown if simulavrxx builds for Windows.
Also, according to Björn (CC'd), it's the only known simulator that will
run the GCC test suite. So if there's a patch that will speed up
execution of the latest release of simulavr, I'm open to it. Even if it
is unmaintained in the long term.
- I'm sure a patch which speeds up simulavr by this much would be greatly
appreciated by all those who do rely on it (for whatever reason); and
although the tool is technically without an active maintainer, I suspect
that someone with cvs access to the sources might even consider patching
them as a favor after being able confirm that the patch doesn't introduce
any undesirable functional regressions. (Possibly enabled by first posting
the patch to allow folks to experiment with it, and then posting their
corresponding findings?)
