Objective-C back-end
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 5:03 pmI have stubbed out a back-end for Objective-C in the repository. Also known as "ObjC" and "objc". Having Cobra run on objc would enable the development of native Mac OS X and iPhone applications. Also, there is the GNUstep platform which is based on objc.
I'm committed to completing the JVM back-end first, but I stubbed this out in case anyone wants to work on it in parallel.
The following works except there is no real code generation:
For hints on how to implement a back-end, see the code in <workspace>/Source/BackEndJvm and .../BackEndClr
If you have questions, ask.
