The HotSpot JIT backend is a monster as well as the entire compiler/runtime on many fronts. It's not trivial to interpret Sun's compiler intermediate representation and have it output something sensible with proper register allocation, etc... But regardless, I and mostly likely others thanks you for your effort, and I personally sympathize with your suffering. :) bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
