Keywords: C, code, question Message-ID: <9010080742.AA08815@kiwi.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz> Date: 8 Oct 90 07:42:31 GMT Sender: compilers-sender@esegue.segue.boston.ma.us Reply-To: "Dr. Bruce McKenzie" Organization: Compilers Central Lines: 19 Approved: compilers@esegue.segue.boston.ma.us I am posting this request for a local company without email or news access. Please reply to me via email and I will pass the information on. Their question is: "The motivation is to find a C compiler which generates space-efficient code rather than speed-efficient code. The best way I know of doing this is to generate psueudo-code which is interpreted by a kernel at runtime. The target architecture is MS-DOS, though the compiler can run on anything. So, I want to knw if there is a C compiler which generates interpreted code to run under MS-DOS."
