Hey Guys,
I never had the time to look at gccs internals. Always been "only" using it.
What I have reckognised is, that its 2-tier. frontend for several languages
und backends fuer quite a lot of architectures. Wasn't that hard to notice
:)
But as far as I know about 2-tier compilers is, that they translate
highlevel language code to some intermediate code.
I was just wondering, why not save this code into executables like
Microsoft's IL, and do JIT compiling with the backend on a choosen
platform???
