Gem did exactly that conceptually. > I guess it could be possible to do, but I sortof doubt anyone did. It's a testing problem. DEC was not only doing emergency fixes for the PDP-11 by the time of Alpha, so I agree. I don't think TLG did anything with the EOL systems by then, they had their hands full with Vax, Alpha and 386; plus all the front ends. > If anyone have the bits, I would be very interested in hearing about it, > as I would like to recompile some bits and pieces. (Any BLISS-16 compiler > would be a good start.) VMSinc had the Gem compiler as part of their license. As I say, they have Neil hacking on it again. But I believe that he is only worried about Itanium and INTEL*64 at the moment. I also do not know what they are doing with the front-ends. Clearly, they are working with the BLISS front-end, but I have not idea what HP has them doing for the other languages. I would expect to see C/C++/Fortran brought forward at least through the dialect that DEC/Compaq/HP had at EOL, so customer code will recompile, since I know of OVMS code in those three languages.
