assembly or compilers, but I

I'd like to suggest that, at least to start to get a handle on compilers,
that you look at Jack Crenshaw's tutorials called "Let's Build a Compiler."
The original had code in Turbo Pascal (!), but I believe someone translated
the Pascal to C. The tutorial, while it is somewhat incomplete in that it
does not go into strings and the like, is excellent for learning how a
compiler compiles. The files are on Simtel.net (www.simtel.net). Just do a
search for "Crenshaw", and it will come right up.

Also, take a look at his articles in Embedded Systems Programming Magazine
(www.embedded.com). Go into the archives for 1998. The articles are found in
the issues from May through December.
