Why? And what do you mean by "compiling to assembler"? I suppose that's compiling to x86, and there's lots of systems that are not x86, in the embedded world there even are a lot of architectures in use not targeted by gcc. C is today's (only) portable assembler. Philipp _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
