That's a CIL *backend* for GCC, not a CIL *frontend* for GCC. Also, the approach describe there has some fundamental flaws. According to Gopal V, "It has a huge array which it uses like C uses RAM. Not pretty, fast, stable or useful", and according to Rhys Weatherly, "He's using a similar approach to egcs-jvm. See the pnet FAQ for a description of why this isn't a good way to port gcc to a stack machine", and they are both right. -- Fergus Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | "I have always known that the pursuit The University of Melbourne | of excellence is a lethal habit" WWW: <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh> | -- the last words of T.
