Does such a product exist? GNU g++ is no good, as it is part of the GNU gcc, which of course generates machine code output. Ehm, reality far surpasses imagination. I remember having seen an article that described or hinted that somebody has already done a set of GNU C/C++ code generator template files that make it generate code for a "machine" whose assembler is C, i.e. a c.md file. I see nothing improbable with this, and I reckon it must be equally possible to have machine description files for machines whose assembler is Ada, Lisp, etc... If anybody knows of where to get the C code generation files for GNU C++: it would be nice if the details were posted... -- Piercarlo "Peter" Grandi | ARPA: pcg%cs.aber.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Dept of CS, UCW Aberystwyth | UUCP: ...!mcsun!ukc!aber-cs!pcg Penglais, Aberystwyth SY23 3BZ, UK | INET: pcg@cs.aber.ac.uk
