(Originally posted to comp.lang.pascal, but they're all going silly
over the latest Borland release ... :-)

In order to compare a Pascal tuned architecture to other machines
around, I need to know what makes up the "average" pascal program.
There are a few articles around which talk about STATIC characteristics.
However, I really need DYNAMIC characteristics (i.e. XX % of all statements
executed are integer assignments,....).

Does anyone have pointers (direct or indirect) to such numbers?
Has anyone done any sort of analysis like this?
*ANY* help would be appreciated.
(I find it hard to believe that nothing like this exists)

Thanks in advance,

Richard
