It is not standard MUMPS. I suspect porting VistA to use it would be a
major effort.

If you really want to see (no pun intended) what I compiler does with
your C code, try the -S option. No doubt, what an M to C translator
would do to most M code is similar. (Actually, the question of
whether or not it is possible to automatically generate well
structured code is an
OK, put that in English. What is the -S option? My guess that since M is
written in C, that it is what happens to M when it is compiled before it
becomes machine language ??

Compilers don't really generate assembly code (at least not anymore),
but the -S option requests the compiler to produce a file containing
a (PowerPC in this case) assembly language file representing the
machine code that is actually generated. Typically, compilers will
rewrite code
Compiler design is a fascinating topic. I believe it is this together
with operating systems that really got me hooked on computers. I
couldn't put down Andrew Tanenbaum's MINIX book, it was simply
fascinating. Of course, at the time I was working on my degree in
mathematics. For some
Rusty sent me some interesting links off list about a
M compiler that converts M code in c++, to then be
compiled into separate executables.
Here are the links

Have these been seen before,
I think the second paper is probably the same one as Getting Over Mumps. I
will have to read it to see.

This is Kevin O'Kane's project. I think it is very interesting but it is
non-standard and
in particular does not implement standard MUMPS collation order on globals. Not
sorting
numeric subscripts in numeric order is one of the biggest remaining impediments
to
compatibility with existing
Actually, I don't think he's the only person to look at doing
something like this. My opinion is that it is probably technically
feasible, but not necessarily a good idea. Think about it this way:
If you have a C program that you want to modify, are you going to
edit the executable code or
MUMPS. I suspect porting VistA
to use it would be a major effort.

Along these lines, his project makes a comment
something like 75,000 lines of M code get converted to
1.2 million lines of C code. Spagetti!

My question on this thread revolves around getting some insight into
what motivates an academic to join MC (regardless of the single minded
efficacy of his extensive projects) I like to use woodworking as an
