A code generator by Alan L. Wendt for the lccCcompiler {front end}. Version 0.6 is interfaced with Fraser and Hanson' s lccfront end. The result is a Ccompiler with good code selection but no global optimisation. Chop can currently compile and run small test programs on the VAX. The National Semiconductor 32000 and Motorola 68000 code generators are being upgraded for lcc compatibility. .
