Totally. Sorry for the lack of clarity. I would abstract a generic statement/
expression language from the C derivatives and then call that the language. I was
merely showing off my internal form. So assignment would be
a = b;
etc... No pointers probably. I'd call them object-references instead and do away with
the '*' so they look like smalltalk, java, C#, etc...
Anyway, it would look like legal code for most common languages, but would actually
be translated specifically to the target by ANTLR. :)
