I managed to get CGo sort-of working in VSCode (meaning that it will
typecheck code in the IDE itself) using a few crude hacks, but it
requires a few minor changes to the TinyGo standard library.
I intend to eventually add this support in the TinyGo extension for
VSCode directly, but for now I've manually updated .vscode/settings.json
to get IDE support. In any case, it would be nice to have this for when
I hopefully add this to the TinyGo extension eventually.
I have chosed to call this implementation `esp8266` instead of `xtensa`
as it has been written specifically for the ESP8266 and there are no
other Xtensa chips with the CALL0 ABI (no windowing) that I know of. The
only other related chip is the ESP32, which does implement register
windowing and thus needs a very different implementation.
