Probably depends on your definition on "native code" then.


The first "native code" I saw produced by a Pascal compiler was COMPASS, i.e.
CDC 6600/7600/175 series code.


Not surprising, as Niklaus Wirth, and his female companion that I never can
recall the name of, *wrote* Pascal for the CDC systems.


Made for an impresive systems implementation language.
