Re: gnubol: Re: gnubol tools

[Tim Josling <tej@melbpc.org.au>]

Very valid thinking IMHO. Objective C, Fortran C++ and C are all
debuggable in GDB in their own terms. Most of them have emacs
modes for color highlighted editing. This requires carrying the
line numbers through to the symbol table and support for new data
types.

We need to get the compiler to the point where we have a sound
basis for people to contribute in parallel. In my view this means
something that takes a valid input and generates an executable.
Once we have this I think work can speed up enormously.

By the way I will be in the USA (Lansing MI) from 12 Nov - 11 Dec
for work, so my email may be a little erratic.
