A PIR front-end, like IMCC for instance, would call the C-level API calls necessary to register itself as the PIR compiler. libparrot itself becomes nothing but a bytecode interpreter, it's up to the various front-ends and embedding applications to attach compilers to it, if necessary. --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
