Re: [DotGNU]gcc?

Hello,

Somewhere on the Portable.NET website...

  http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html

there an explanation about why it is so difficult a
task to make gcc produce .NET's IL bytecode (or Java's
JVM bytecode).  The reason is basically because gcc
is very strongly designed to compile to `register based'
instruction sets, and not `stack based' instruction sets
(like IL and JVM).

See ya
