Ok, ok. It's true, maybe I have to be more precise.
The problem may be in the words 'Translation Scheme' :). In fact, I've translated it from the Spanish expression 'esquema de traducci�n'.
I ask for the correspondency between Pascal structures and i386 code. For example, when the parser reads a 'procedure' declaration, what i386 instructions are generated (movl, enter, push...). When the parser reads a assignment (a:=b), what code is generated and so on...
I know that GPC does something different, because it's 'only' a front- end (and uses Trees and RTL). But I wonder if someone of this mailing- list has this scheme.
GPC is not a stand-alone front-end. It is like the front 2 wheels of a 4 wheel car. You need all 4 wheels to go anywhere.
There is a little bit of confusion because when you combine the GPC front- end with the back-end the result is still called GPC.
