Just a note that hand.c could be mostly/easily be written in Modula-3 instead of C.<BR>
The main problem is the names.<BR>
<BR>
Might be a fun little project for someone.<BR>
<BR>
We should also change the gcc backend to use memcmp instead of set_ne/set_eq.<BR>
Or even the frontend. (There might be an extra efficiency to be had in that<BR>
a) we don't need -1/0/+1, just a boolean b) we know it is a whole<BR>
number of ulongs). Probably set_ne/set_eq are rare though.<BR>
m3back compares to an empty set often, but it is small and the front<BR>
end implements small sets as a single integer.<BR>
