Splitting it into smaller parts is rather difficult (of course it could be split into changes to modules (mostly B modules) (about 2k lines), auto-generated files (1-2k lines), but I don't think that would make it more manageable). But I don't see how it can be split into smaller steps, you can't do half a code generation step. Maybe telling a little more about the changes is more useful: The bulk of the new code is in codegen.c, most of which is converting the optree into a instruction list, with a large "case" statement handling the different optypes. At the top of codegen.c there is some documentation about how this is done. Most of the removed code is in op.c where a lot of optree manipulation is removed, which is replaced by code in codegen.c Most of the other changes have to do with "return addresses" now being INSTRUCTION* instead of OP* and using the arguments in the pp_* Gerard GoossenThread Previous | Thread Next
