Re: inside the GHC code generator

Another shortcoming is that the native code generator in GHC isn't capable of dealing with backward jumps to labels (because GHC hasn't needed that so far). But if you did C-- optimisation, you'd probably generate such jumps. It'd be great to beef up the native code gen to handle that.

I'm already working on that. It's basically done, I think I only need to get around to one more session with the code for final cleanup. (Just to avoid any duplication of effort). Cheers, Wolfgang
