I didn't find a single bug in the new translator... BUT, (and there's always a butt...) I did see many insufficiencies... For one, code size is still way too big... For two, execution speeds are still not as fast as they should be... It's jsut *slightly* improved performance, and sometimes the interpreter beats the translator... Maybe Rob should start all over again and design a new translation sheme... Aslong as it's faster... For two, the code is still unreadable, mainly because it's so big... If the code size was reduced, you could hand-edit stuff much easier, and it would pass as hand-written code aswell... For three, the runtime library is still in compiled form... It is my idea that there shouldn't even be one! Code for runtime routines should be spewn out if invoked, in a fil ecalled routines.c or something.. Aslong as we can port our programs to other platforms, it'll be cool... Rob, what's the latest story on this all? Mike The Spike
