Re: Decompilation

["J. Grant" <jg-lists at jguk dot org>]

Hi Mike,

I quote from http://gcc.gnu.org/contributewhy.html

Nobody likes to do a lot of work and find it was duplicated effort. So 
when you work on a major new feature, you should tell gcc@gcc.gnu.org 
what you are working on, and give occasional reports of how far you have 
come and how confident you are that you will finish the job. This way, 
other developers (if they are paying attention) will be aware which 
projects would duplicate your effort, and can either join up with you, 
or at least avoid spending time on something that will be unnecessary 
because of your work.


I am in contact with people working on decompilation already, also I 
would like to make the most of the time I set aside for free software 
development.

I believe this is the place to find out if work on this is already being 
done.

Regards

JG

again, please cc me in any replys
