     Type:  enhancement       |                Status:  assigned
 Priority:  major             |             Milestone:  5.3
Component:  compiler          |               Version:  5.1.0
 Keywords:                    |  Estimated difficulty:  hard
------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 The C code generation stuff is a terrible, rotten mess. It's
 incomprehensible and making changes in the code has become rather
 difficult. I have a "backend" branch that uses an intermediate
 representation (S-expressions, roughly C-like), originally intended for an
 alternative backend ("qbe") that seems to work, at least for the core
 system + tests.

 I can try to bring it up to date and present it once it is ready.
