Hi,

I'm one of the people considering a new Ada compiler, I would like to ask the people here who have actually done it, what their advice would be. i.e. what to aim for, what to avoid doing, etc?

I personally am aiming for a library based multi-backend system. Basically, I'd like to see a full Ada compiler frontend with an Ada backend, but with the ability to poach other backends, specifically LLVM. My initial targets are unusual, Z80, MIPS and x86 (16-bit -> 64-bit) and JVM bytecode.

Let the mayhem commence... :D

Ta,
Luke.
