I wonder if we might be of some use to you. =20 I only faintly hope our project can benefit from your work. We're adding a Cobol front end to GCC. Cobol has built-in sort functions, both on disk and in memory, and a rich data-description language. There is more potential there than might seem at first blush, and I would welcome the opportunity to explain in detail if you're interested. =20 If your objective is simply to extend C to support content addressable memory, then we might still be of some help. I don't know anything, really, about the C front-end, but Bob has experience getting Generic to generate code. He might be able to answer some of your questions, if nothing else. Let me know what you think. =20 Kind regards,=20 --jkl
