BCPL compiler with GCC

[Tom Crick]

Hello,

I'm trying to write a compiler for BCPL and have been investigating writing
a new frontend to GCC.

Do you know if anyone has written a parser and tree rep. for BCPL in GCC?
Are there some nasty traps and pitfalls ahead? Obviously there are some nice
little quirks in BCPL ('valof()' and general scoping issues), but
semantically it's not much different from C.

Also, with upcoming changes to GCC, would it be a good idea to convert to
GENERIC at the end?

Thanks for your help,
