[comp.compilers] Simultaneous Multiple Targeting

cdash@boulder.colorado.edu (Charles Shub) (05/31/88)

We are looking into a compiler that will produce object code for several
targets AT THE SAME TIME. We have not found anything truly relevant in the
literature. There are many examples of compilers that can be retargeted, but
what we are interested in is one that generates two linkable files for two
different targets at the same time. Anybody have any pointers or suggestions?
Response by mail would be appreciated.

thanks...

We're working on the same problem but with some of the supercomputer
systems in mind.  We, too, have not found a lot in the literature, but
you may want to go look at the old PQCC stuff for ideas.  Also, the
so-called "portable C" system has good documentation in the literature
and probably on your local UNIX system if you've a source license.--
