There are a number of (already written) macros available to do
this, and
I think it will reduce the complexity of the compiler (at a slight
increase in complexity of the generated code via macros) . I am
wondering if there are any thoughts on this idea.
An obvious downside would be that the internal object writer would
still need the functionality to translate these macro's into
assembler/machine code. Additionally, the complexity of those
constructs isn't that big and is written in an entirely processor
independent way (ncgflw.pas), so you do not have to worry about that
when porting the compiler.
