There is also a middle-end in GCC (and IMNSHO the middle-end of GCC is its biggest part; it is the thing which does not depend much on the source language and on the target processor & system). FWIW, there is some partial documentation about GCC (notably some slides I have made) on http://gcc-melt.org/docum.html (of course the main emphasis is on MELT, but there are some explanations about GCC internals) Cheers -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net mobile: +33 6 8501 2359 8, rue de la Faiencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France *** opinions {are only mines, sont seulement les miennes} ***
