gcc already has one. It's called RTL.

Theoretically you can express all of GIMPLE in ANSI C,
practically it would require some engineering,
pragmatically it is worthless for GCC
1. Yes. And no. It can be written but such a backend would never be
acceptable for inclusion in GCC.
don't worry ;-)
2. Probably GIMPLE, but you can't express all of GIMPLE in ANSI C
(with GCC extensions you can probably express most of it though).

Everybody is supposed to know what "highlevel" means for you.
OK, I just meant plain ansi C

Yes, gcc2c from sun.com, though this is a dead proj

Hello alltogether,
I have some questions:
1. Is it possible to provide an Highlevel C backend for the GCC?
2. Which level is most suitable level to generate C from (not the
initial source code level, of course ;-)) - RTL, GIMPLE, GENERIC?
3. Are there any attempts to provide a C backend, so far
