Heya all

I know that this is horribly off topic but this is the first place I
thought I'd ask :)

I've been learning lexical analysis / grammar parsing lately and have
decided to start building a small C compiler for test purposes... I've
been looking around for papers on compiler design (steering away from
the actual parsing languages, etc.) or any simple source (without
optimisations, etc.) that I could possibly have a look at...

GCC is great and I've been looking through the source to figure out
where to begin (tho' it's too hefty for me at the moment) and since some
of the people on this list would have a good idea of the internals of
compilers, where would I find anything on compiler design? Any simple
compilers (it doesn't necessarily have to be C/++ at the moment) or
papers / documents or anything? Or maybe just a pointer to a useful
newsgroup, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Michael
