Actually, I don't believe so. C was never an intended target. It was only a convenience for compiler bootstrapping. For that purpose, *any* widely used target will suffice. The problem with compiling to C is that it isn't simple to make things work nicely with a garbage collector, and all of the techniques that do so impose a significant performance penalty. _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
