Certainly a desirable goal! (I did a bit of this in the C++ front-end a while back, though nothing as formal or complete as what you are suggesting. There used to be various places where the front end would peek at the RTL generated for global variables and such.) > 1) Group front end objects in Makefile.in under e.g. ALL_HOST_FRONTEND_OBJS > 2) Add a new build rule that adds an extra define -DIN_GCC_FRONTEND > 3) Conditionally poison symbols in system.h This seems like a reasonable plan to me. It will, of course, take some work to achieve, but in concept I completely agree that the front ends should have no knowledge whatsoever of RTL. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
