He also reminded me that I'd been wanting to generalise the code generation such that the choice of image word size could be made at C compile time, rather than when translating the sources. (The various constants appearing by value and that are currently set depending on the word size would instead appear by name in the code, and the build environment would be responsible for switching between 32- or 64-bit definitions for them.) This would allow identical sources to generate all 4 permutations of image width and hardware pointer width.
This would be very helpful I suspect. Do you a) have time to make those changes yourself, or b) have particular ideas on what to do about them if bar-a.
