Michael, You might find the macro and dynamic specialization features in 'C and tcc applicable for Ocean: `C and tcc: a language and compiler for dynamic code generation http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=316686.316697&coll=Portal&dl=ACM&CFID=3175483&CFTOKEN=37590449 tcc: a system for fast, flexible, and high-level dynamic code generation http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=258915.258926&coll=Portal&dl=ACM&CFID=3175483&CFTOKEN=37590449 Let me know if you don't have access to ACM Portal PDFs.
