It is not as difficult as it looks (provided you are not after efficient
code).


I worked out a design over a year ago. But decided that the oddities
would catch too many people out (there is much implementation defined
behaviour and even undefined behaviour that is intrinsic to processors
that have a flat memory architecture).


The hardest bit to design was pointers to functions.


The design also required a particular implementation defined behaviour
for work 'as expected'. A method for turning Java 'headers' into
C is also needed. So that the various Java API's are usable.


I already have a compiler that targets a stack machine. Are there
any paying customers out there? What do people think?
