[MLton-devel] Re: MLRISC

[Lal George]

I lied ...
The RegisterAllocator functor is higher-order -- curried, but
AFAIK there are none of the other non-standard features you
mention.

I suspect that the most common use of the RegisterAllocator
functor is one where it can be fully applied at one place --
that is to say, we don't carry around the partial application.

The most recent version of MLRISC is always the one bundled with
the compiler, as they share the same CVS repository.

The library has a lot of dead code, so it is not surprising
that many of the .cm files do not compile. A lot of the dead
code were experiments that worked at one time, but abandoned
for one reason or another.

At some point Allen and I will need to do a significant clean
up.
