Hi,


I use my compilers with the following structure :


Parser (Generic Base Class)
Code Generators. (Several code generation classes derived from a base class)


The code generators are implemented as classes derived from a base class
that defines the generic code generation characteristics, and I have
derived classes for different targets.


Usually what happens is :


The parser creates an intermediate code, and a code generator object
takes this code and translates it to the target.


That way I can create multi-target compilers easily, using the power of
OOP inheritance.


A good thing that can be created by this design is that the compiler
can implement special objects that are derived from the code generation
base class, such as a "lint" class that can perform semantic checks,
on the intermediate code.


Ron.
