- Subject: Supporting multiple pointer sizes in GCC
Hello,
Is it possible to support multiple pointer sizes (e.g. 16bit, 32bit)
which can co-exist in single compilation unit?
I want to add this support in backend code of a target architecture
for C and C++ languages.
I referred an old discussion about same topic on following URL:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-08/msg00067.html
However, even after going through this discussion I am still not very
clear about this.
Whether it is supported in GCC now?
Is there any other architecture which has this feature already
implemented?
Regards,
