Chop

A code generator by Alan L. Wendt for the lcc C compiler front end. Version 0.6 is interfaced with Fraser and Hanson's lcc front end. The result is a C compiler with good code selection but no global optimisation. Chop can currently compile and run small test programs on the VAX. The NS32k and 68000 code generators are being upgraded for lcc compatibility.
