In addition, I'm probably asking for too much. Ideally, I'm looking for something like MS Visual Studio with that executes on a virtual software machine, whose source code is freely available.   Thanks, M. McDonnell --- On

I realized I missed this part of your email: Can LLVM help, or am I completely off track? > It isn't clear to me yet. I have used LLVM for a different but similar purpose, which effectively implements a stronger virtual machine on top of the LLVM IR. I have been very happy with the decision to use LLVM instead of, say, working with x86 directly. On the other hand, if you are only
