[Mono-list] Oberon and another dialect

[Dominic Cooney]

I have read Compiling for the .NET CLR too, and it is excellent. I am
not following mcs that closely, but FWIW the appendix on return-path and
definite assignment checking may be of interest. It cleverly uses sets
to track variable initialisation, and you get all-paths-return-a-value
checking for free.

Just my $0.02,

Dominic Cooney

FYI, John Gough, the lead developer for the Gardens Point
Component Pascal compiler, has written a very interesting
book, "Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime,"
which details all sorts of interesting aspects of writing compilers
for the CIL virtual machine as well as great descriptions of 
of the instruction set and various nuances dealt with in writing
the compiler.  Examples in C#, CP and CIL are given.

Custom attributes, program verification, and problems
associated with mapping hard-to-map language constructs
are covered in various chapters.

Highly recommended.  I purchased the book from Amazon.com.

Regards,

Greg
