the gcc backend. Other backends (such as cmm or jvm) come with their own<br>
garbage collectors, and although a native code generator would be neat,<br>
I wouldn't want to rely on one. In fact, rather than write a native code<br>
generator, I would likely want to write a standalone c-- compiler that I<br>
can bundle with jhc. In the end, grin is close enough to c-- that I<br>
don't think I lose anything in the translation.<br>

So you can use it with gcc. <br><br>Let me see if I understand your intention for the long term correctly: <br>For native code jhc would emit C/C++ and use the native garbage collector. For everything else it would emit c-- which would then get compiled to the appropriate VM, utilizing that VM's GC? <br>
