C. Johnson, +written in the late 70's. Even though much of the compiler has been +rewritten, some of the basics still remain. + +The intention is to write a C99 compiler while still keeping it small, simple, +fast and understandable. I think of it as if it shall be able to compile and +run on PDP11 (even if it may not happen in reality). But with this in mind it +becomes important to think twice about what algorithms are used. |
