A code generator by Alan L. Wendt wendt@CS.ColoState.EDU for the lcc C compiler front end . Version 0.6 is interfaced with Fraser and Hanson's lcc front end . The result is a C compiler with good code selection but no global optimisation . Chop can currently compile and run small test programs on the VAX . The NS32k and 68000 code generators are being upgraded for lcc compatibility.
