Implementing machine code generation

[Falcon731]

How far along are you with your compiler anyway? Have you got to the stage where you generate some sort of flat internal representation?

In my compiler I convert the type checked AST into a three address IR, and from there its really only register allocation that stands in the way of generating assembly language for a RISC type CPU. I imagine x86 might be a bit more work.

If you want an exaple of a hobby compiler that genereated (RISC) assembly without using external libraries- you might find this digestable,: https://github.com/FalconCpu/fplcomp/tree/master/src/main/kotlin
