Hi Optikos

Thanks for all your great posts and help.

So with the Ada-Yacc/Flex, we are Berkley licensed and that's it. However if I started tearing out pieces from gnat 3.14, the generated code could contain GMGPL code taken from it(Likely after a lot of modification).


Let's say I wanted to implement nested sub-programs, gnat must have trampolines or something in there. I could rip these out without having to write them.

This would mean that the generated code would have to be GMGPL too.

If I didn't do this, everything could be BSD but then I would have to write everything from scratch and that could take quite a lot of time.

BTW, another plus with this, if gnat is not linking in any runtime, and the runtime was created by the source-to-source preprocessor, all of the targets that gcc supports would be possible as long as the preprocessor was able to generator the right support before it reached gnat.
