Hi Walter!

Was compiling into C a consideration? Seems like this side steps some of the compatibility issues (not to mention getting a lot of optimization "for free"), albeit while inheriting any compilation and ABI limitations.

Thanks! P.s. We met at GoingNative2013 - you were very kind with my many questions back then as well!



I've considered compiling into C code, but after seeing what cfront (compiles from C++ to C) had to go through, I figured that would be a ton more work than just generating code directly!

Glad I was able to help you at GN2013!
