[M3devel] How small can Modula-3 runtime be?

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi:
it can run on smart cards, they ran OS and all there so, using a CLASP machine, you can run in silicon card:

Thanks in advance

Bare hardware would be too much a task for me now, but those numbers are great. I can spare few tens of KILObytes anytime :).
Right now I am looking around for cross-compiling setup. Anyone did it in work environment? (not only for bootstrap)

Question is - if we go embedded, how small can we go?

Obviously, we need full Linux kernel, pthreads and all. But what about =
total RAM? Flash (persistent storage)?=20

dd

Modula-3 has been run without a kernel.

Table 3.0, page 49, for byte counts of the runtime.

I have the source code somewhere.  It's a modified version of the old SRC M3
compiler, which compiles M3 to C.
