This is fine for simple languages like pascal and c, but I'm doing Ada, so it really needs to be fairly aggressive. Luke [I'd think the aggressive stuff would be largely machine independent, figuring out what's a constant so it can do stuff at compile time rather than in the code. Once you've done that, adding two numbers together or deferencing a pointer is pretty much the same in any language. -John]
