Re: [xmlvm-dev] ARC

[Paul P. <bay...@gm...>]

Panayotis,

As I understand it, once the C backend supports everything the Obj-C backend
does, the Obj-C backend will not be updated anymore.  That may mean a branch
is tagged & it's removed from trunk or it just remains in trunk unchanged,
but either way it's living stagnant.  So I'm not going to stop you, but I'm
curious why you would want to invest that time in the Obj-C backend.
