That would be ripping open the GCC's standard bridge of RTL between the frontend and backend ... and converting that to an AST bridge ...

Afterall trying to emulate a register machine on a stack machine is not the 'standard' code .... Well we could do it, the triples of each operation could be operated on the stack , but the operations would increase 4 fold. This is the so called RTL mode of codegen... But grabbing the AST and processing from it is possible and might be the only real way to do .. > And mono could get jilc fully operational, after all mono has a highly > skilled team of hackers. Hmm.... that might be possible ... But the JILC model has nothing to do with gcj model ... I know one of the guys who started it, I asked him and he told me it depended on a very simple tree data model which was not much good for anything else than linear loops through it. (In his opinion this why he chose it for disassembling). The real idea should be to rip out RTL and design a new transfer bridge which can convey stack based semantics as well ... the rest of the ideas are just hacks .. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
