Introduced the infra. for the project and scaffolded the NativeAOT to remove the BCL/runtime so that ILC will just emit raw ASM.

Now what code is valid per se? Well, this:

int main() {
    int x = 10;
    int* p = &x;
    *p = 99;
    return x;
}

So, what ASM is made from this? Well with Debug it’s a lot, but for Release it’s this:

push rax
mov dword ptr [rsp+4], 0Ah
mov dword ptr [rsp+4], 63h
mov eax,dword ptr [rsp+4]
ret

So obviously this is a little stripped down, but you can see how it’s a direct map. And keep in mind: I’m using .NET NativeAOT which was made for a managed language, but I’m using it like LLVM. So, this concludes the first devlog, but I hope I can continue to work on this 😁.
