Err, I may sound nitpicky, but when I say "code", I usually mean *source* code. Automatically generated code counts only if it becomes the preferred medium for modification. Most of the time, it isn't: you'd tweak the generation procedure instead. So, maybe it's not hopeless. Maybe we do have ways to reduce the amount (if not the proportion) of glue code. Now, reducing the hardware ressources (CPU, memory…) needed to *run* glue code is another matter. Loup. _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
