Ernest:
Maybe you know about the Kawa Scheme language interpreter-compiler. It's a kind of
succesor of the Guile project by GNU, but using Java. It certainly is a nice
implementation, but the important part is that the compiler includes the gnu.bytecode
package, that is "classes to generate, read, write, and print Java bytecode (.class)
files. It is used by Kawa to compile Scheme into bytecodes; it should be useful for
other languages that need to be compiled into Java bytecodes." Well, just an idea.
The web address is: http://www.cygnus.com/~bothner/gnu.bytecode/
By the way, I am so curious to see how did you combined backward chaining and the
production system.
