I am writing concerning Functional Language compilation.

My final year project is to write a functional language for either the IBM
PC or SUN SPArc.

I would rather spend more of my available time on implementing the
mechanics of functional language compilation at the Lambda calculus level
to G-code levels, rather than worrying about native code generation.

To this end I was hoping that somebody on the Net might know of a public
domain G-Code compiler for either of the machines mentioned above.

If any one could help I would be most grateful.

Yours Sincerely

Simon L. Peyton Jones (of the University of Glasgow) and David R. Lester
(of the University of Manchester) are supposed to be coming out with a new
book on implementing functional languages sometime in the near future. It
goes into considerable details of a G-machine compiler.  The
implementation language used is Miranda, but I'm sure you'll still find it
useful.

You may want to contact them at simonpj@dcs.glasgow.ac.uk or
