Hi,
 I am in the process of rewriting my ALC compiler, whereby the back-end is being rewritten from "tabular" to "object-oriented".
 Both types of structures have their advantages and disadvantages. The "tabular" structure is suitable for cross-object analysis and the "object-oriented" structure is suitable for object-specific analysis.
 Unfortunately, you can only ever use ONE type of data structure, so I now use the "tabular" structure in the FRONT-END and the "object-oriented" structure in the BACK-END.
 Anyone who knows TCL knows that "refactoring" TCL code is cruel, because it always ends in a huge amount of "broken" code.

here we are…
