This is nasty because it introduces the need for a parser and pretty printer for each phase. There is already a pretty printer for each stage, but none of them generate faithful output: they're designed for human debugging. The representation that REALLY needs an isomorphism parser/printer pair is the bound term (BBDCL, BEXE, BEXPR) representation, since that would allow offline optimisations. Alas .. we have not enough resources, and not enough interest to justify acquiring them. That's rather annoying after all the work I put in, and now am in the position to actually acquire resources .. and find no justification for the investment. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
