Creating a compiler

Advertisemen

I may have underestimated the effort required in creating a compiler, I knew it was going to be an arduous task... Simultaneously writing the Parsing and the Code Generation... Can't believe I thought the Lexical Analysis was hard.

Currently it can generate machine code for if-then statements but nothing else... No assignments... Just if then statements:

It may be better to attempt this in Java instead of C++ due to Java having a STL that's useful towards building a compiler:

Well it's not STL, but this thing looks damn useful!
