Re: [xmlvm-users] C++ target support dropped

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

Guys: I'm happy to see that there is interest in the new C backend. The 
C code generation is mostly done. The big job ahead is to convert the 
Objective-C wrappers to the new C backend conventions. I hope that I 
will get some help doing this. I think that this conversion is completed 
within two months. In a couple of weeks I will send around some 
technical information regarding the new backend that should help those 
that plan to add new API. Right now I would suggest holding off on doing 
any improvements to the Objective-C backend.
