3b) Generate ISO C. Compile with $(CC). 4) Convert your internal (parse) trees into GENERIC (aka GCC "native") trees as a separate pass. This is how Java, Ada and Fortran work. I strongly recommend (4) rather than (2). Whether you choose (1), (3) or (4) is a decision you need to make based on how much you care about the quality of generated code, and how much time+effort you're willing to invest. Paul
