On a serious note,

If you want VB, I can help you out.

Search FreeVBCode.com for "D++", there's an "EXE Maker"

Have fun!

i have seen that before, i cannot believe it was written with VB. Its sad.

On this page are links to a series of PDF files, which form "compiler theory documentation" by P. D. Terry.

There's also a link to his website:

They're very useful.

It's called gcc.

I called lectric's cat a goat, but despite my "right" to do so, I can't convince either him OR the cat.

I remember wanting to write a compiler a few years ago. I didn't manage it, but after getting hold of this tutorial I did write a small interpreter and a calculator program which could read in a maths function, d/dx it and find a root.

That tutorial covers recursive descent parsing which is the easiest to write by hand (i.e. without Flex and Bison or Lexx and Yacc) and it even outputs assembly code, but it's assembly for some Motorola chip so don't expect it to work with an x86 assembler.

Converting it might not be too extensive an undertaking, if the source is modular enough. It could be as simple as replacing strings in a lookup table, coupled with some other minor modifications (such as changing how segment/section directives are emitted).

Ha...ha...oh lord he's serious

Well first you need to learn ASM (Assembly Line) and usually learning that takes a good 3 years. That is what DOS and such was made on.


ASM is 1 and 0...Say hello to your 2 new friends. Also ASM is used to decide how fast a disk spins or how the harddrive reads and writes. It's down to hardware. And used for compilers. I recommend writing a program that ACTS like a compiler.

Ex: Say in C++ you add the commandRINT to act as cout >> " *text* ";
Then if someone typed Print then it would set cout >> "
And end with ";

Also add a small script to make sure cast sensitivity won't matter.
