hi,


The Question I Have Is Very General, but I'll ask it anyway: how can
you create a good code generator which separates a general front-end
from the back-ends? Which things can be generalized for all processor
architectures?


[The front end is almost by definition the stuff that doesn't depend
on the back end. Front ends typically know a little bit about the
processor architecture so they can lay out structures and otherwise
allocate memory, but nearly everything else doesn't vary from one
target to another. -John]
