16-bit real-mode code

2005-02-23 Thread Josef Angermeier

Hello 

I ponder about writing a "i386 16bit realmode" gcc backend as my master
thesis - which would be usefull for generating 16-bit bios code needed
by the virtual machine developed at my university.

Having never programmed any compiler-related stuff and having a strict
deadline (after 6 months) i would appreciate some commments about the
complexity of such a venture.

thanks in advance 
(please reply (also) directly to me, im not subscribed)

ciao
