      From: roland.leissa@googlemail.com              Hello,              A compiler which can compile itself is definitely a nice feature, but       this is surely not a must have. There are compilers out there which       don't even understand their source language, i.e. a compiler for       languages Foo and Bar but the compiler itself is written in C.              But I would agree that a compiler written in Foo and understands Foo       should be able to compile itself. This is a really nice test.              Cheerz,       Roland              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
