Hi,
I want to understand how a compiler works. So I thought I could search a little open source Compiler (FreePascal is very big and I think I had a better overview with a smaller one).
So I decided to understand FreePascal. I found Free Pascal 1.0.x Internal documentation version 1.0 on freepascal.org.
Should I work through it from the beginning to the end? Or are there any other suggestions?
Ciao,
Holger
Hello!
Yo may try to read it, but it's rather a technical document desribing this very Free Pascal compiler. If you want to understand how compilers work, I suggest reading a comprehensive book. I use 'Compiler Construction' by F. L. Bauer and J. Eickel, 2nd Edition, Springer 1976.
