Can you explain what you mean?


I mean it would take a complete re-write of the translation phase from
gfortran's native program representation to GENERIC trees.  Even if it
is "quite possible" to make it write out LLVM directly, it would be a
huge job.  Basically it would mean a complete rewrite of the gfortran
backend, which is IMHO highly undesirable even if it is possible.

I for one would not support any project to do this.

Ok, we understand and agree with each other then. I wasn't the one proposing elimination of front-end use of trees. :)
