Re: Bootstraping compilers ?

Hello,

A compiler which can compile itself is definitely a nice feature, but
this is surely not a must have. There are compilers out there which
don't even understand their source language, i.e. a compiler for
languages Foo and Bar but the compiler itself is written in C.

But I would agree that a compiler written in Foo and understands Foo
should be able to compile itself. This is a really nice test.

Cheerz,
Roland
