Everything is fair in love & war & compiler implementation, but separation between front-end syntax checking, intermediate parse tree creation, & back-end code generation can be an easy discipline to maintain. With as many processors that gcc supports, one would think that separating out the code generation code would be a given, but I haven't looked at it, so I can only conjecture.
