Has anybody tried porting PostgreSQL to a "stack machine" or "accumulator machine"? More specifically, how specialized is the source code in PostgreSQL, would it be possible to port the PostgreSQL source to a older version of GCC? There are some stack and accumulator based machines that contain stripped down versions of GCC, so I am trying to figure out if I should attempt to port the source or if its not possible.

Uh, we use ANSI C and I don't remember us doing anything special that would cause you problems. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
