As Rafael said, there is no way to do that right now. You could generate C or C++ if you really want strict separation like that. There are plenty of examples of this -- gcl and vala spring to mind.

Doug84> My program:- Lexical analysis, Syntax Analysis, Semantic Analysis, Doug84> Intermediate Code Generation I recommend the approach I took with gcjx: write your compiler as a library, and design it to allow multiple back ends. Then, treat GCC's trees as one particular back end. This lets you design your compiler the way you like, while avoiding messing with streaming out an intermediate representation. It has a bunch of other benefits as well. Tom
