Hi Jan,

You're right, this is not the best place. In my view the
user list is for users of SDCC and the developer list is
for its developers. Since you want information about
developing SDCC I redirect this to the development
mailing list. You'll also find some more information
there.

You may call me what you like (but not always in my face
though ;). When I joined SDCC I knew little about
writing compilers and nothing about SDCC's internals. I
learned everything by reading and observing (single
stepping) the code. I started with simple stuff like
adding header files and gradually grew into it.

Ask away.
