Yeah, I just translated int.ex (with 4.05) and it created a totally different convert.c with different identifiers and everything.
The funny thing is that it was also a much smaller file -- 37K vs. 60K.
Yes, the version of the translator the defined words and the defined words will effect the resulting C code. Even if you compare the convert.c in intobj and transobj using the same interpreter/translator you will find different symbols inside the routines and different names for the routines themselves. They must be named this way to avoid conflicts among routines that have the same name.
These routines are not even necessarily functionally equivalent if I understand what Matt is saying.
