That kind of brings up an egg/chicken paradox. If GCC is compiled with GCC, how was the very first GCC compiled? ;-)
What you generally do, is use a simple (subset) compiler, implement it and then start writing a more complex one. Alternately, you could use any C++ compiler to compile your first own C++ compiler, and from no on, start using your own C++ compiler to compile itself. In case you create the first iteration of a new language, you probably need to hand-code certain parts instead of compile it. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
