It isn't as in-depth as I would like but it might help anyone new to Cmm. SimonM, thanks for looking at it and making the clarification on inlining GlobalRegs over foreign calls--much better. SimonPJ, I am moving the part on floating point exceptions from "Cmm Design: Observations and Areas for Potential Improvement" to a new page: "Cmm: Implementing Exception Handling." There I will add some extra notes on implementing floating-point exceptions in Cmm, as this seems like an area that will require some design discussion. (From what I can tell, a bit of this has already been set up at the Haskell level, through Control.Exception; interfacing with Control.Exception and design details particular to a machine would fill out the rest.) Cheers, Pete
