[M3devel] Think we need a new release. C target

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
According to this it might be not p 20
ftp://ftp.deas.harvard.edu/techreports/tr-01-05.pdf

In any case will be enough to output C code inside the RT system to provide better maintainability? I believe it isn't but just to try to nicely be compliant with "a standard" that nobody has ever claim as such:

Sorry, if I'm being unpolitical, but anyway, you have supported my true passion, good languages.

Thanks in advance and please make any comments you may have

I did not agree with this before… But having met mindset "but we unserrrstand C"+"who will maintain than"+"we can't control that module code"… I agree now :).
With C target we don't have to worry about gcc internal changes and we can shield our customer of horrible non-C nature of product we are selling :).
Question is: Can we pass enough information to object/executable to allow us source level debugging of Modula-3?
