I'm in the process of unifying the various PAST implementations into a common form that can (hopefully) be used by many languages. The basics will be available, but there will also be a way to add extensions or override behaviors for various HLLs. > If there is a common set of goals or objectives for compiler tools that > Cardinal can contribute to or utilize, I would like to do so. > This is an offer to help build and test the compiler tools. :) > > I just want to start a discussion about compiler tools and learn what > information, I've missed. Excellent! At the moment I'm working on updating the compiler tools draft into an official PDD for comments and suggestion, as well as putting some code that demonstrates the pieces. Look for this in the next five days or so! Pm
