VM/Back-end

[Mike]

I want GCC to compile c/c++ code into VM instructions.  Looking at GJC 
as a reference, I didn't see a Java machine back-end MD file.  Java 
isn't a back-end in gcc/config.


For a new VM back-end, does it have to be put in gcc/config?  Also, 
would a configure target have to be made for the new VM/machine?

AFAIK, gcj can compile JVM code (ie javac-compiled .class bytecode 
files) but don't produce them.


There exist a CIL backend in some branch.
