The idea seems sound to me, and I'm curious how your OOP macros would fit with something like COLA's grammars.

I'm following COLA's lead (indeed, I'm going to use the jolt3 implementation as the basis for the first Ocean), and intending to use a pipeline of grammars to transform the sources into ASTs, then down to machine code. > Is your project just starting up?

Once jolt3 is available, you shouldn't need much more than a bootstrap binary.

This will be one of the top priorities, as I certainly am getting sick of debugging my programs with a bunch of printfs. Makes me feel like Linus Torvalds, but not in a good way. ;) -- Michael FIG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ http://michael.fig.org/ \// _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
