What would it take to integrate GNU Pascal with the rest of GCC?
Short answer: more developers (and testers).
IMHO you would get more testers (users) automatically if GPC would be included into the GCC repository. And it would be much easier to contribtueif the code could be checked out via CVS and so there would be also a better chance to recruit more developers .
Indeed. If it were on a devel branch at GCC CVS, a certain number of us GCC hackers would work to integrate it and get the branch merged; as it is, it's really rather inconvient to do such integration work
For example, I'm working on cleaning up the icky Ada configury, not because I know anything about Ada, but because it's part of GCC and I don't like having ickinesses like that in GCC mainline.
In contrast, I actually do know something about Pascal.
