You're willing to work on SubC?

I thought you said it didn't make sense?

It makes sense to me because I want a public
domain compiler, for the same reason that the
GCC copyright owners refuse to make theirs
public domain.

BTW, I noticed that your linker is copyrighted.
Are you happy to release any work on SubC as
public domain?

This is actually the major problem. Finding
someone with the skills to get this close
enough to C90. It's already very close.

> 2. Compiler backend

This already exists for 8086, 80386 and ARM,
which is all I'm really interested in. Well,
I'm interested in S/370 too.

> 3. Linker

We already have pdld386 for the 80386 and now
we have ld86 for the 8086. I am not aware of
any problem with either of them for the purpose
I require.

I'm happy to live with student grade so long
as it works. Improving that is a job for future
generations.
