Generating the intermediate language for later stages.
------------------------------------------------------

This chapter deals with the transformation of gfortran's frontend data
structures to the intermediate language used by the later stages of
the compiler, the so-called middle end.

Data structures relating to this are found in the source files
:samp:`trans*.h` and :samp:`trans-*.c`.
