Assuming they are not, is this just a manifestation of academia vs. industry, or are there real reasons for not using them in (*ahem*) real compilers? Pointers and opinions welcome. Particulary from those with experience with more than one CGG. -Mark Hall (smart mailer): markhall@pyramid.pyramid.com {amdahl|decwrl|sun|seismo|lll-lcc}!pyramid!markhall -- Send compilers articles to ima!compilers or, in a pinch, to Levine@YALE.EDU Plausible paths are { decvax | harvard | yale | bbn}!ima Please send responses to the originator of the message -- I cannot forward mail accidentally sent back to compilers.
