Has anyone given any thought to a gcc backend for generating parrot assembler?
Even with a partial implementation in place, it would be presumably be possible to use much of core C, with the benefits of register allocation, optimiser etc. Obviously it wouldn't be able to use much of parrot's powerful string handling or PMCs though, as C cannot convey these concepts. Of course, these could probably be hacked in as pseudo-function calls. Any thoughts? Anyone tried? Cheers, Nick
