Mukund Ragavachari at Princeton (mrm@cs.princeton.edu) has already
done something like this for the lcc ANSI C compiler. Because it's
implemented within the compiler, it doesn't require two source passes.
You might have more fun porting lcc to the Atari machine and using his
debugger than you would writing your own.


lcc is freely available from ftp.cs.princeton.edu. For more
information, see http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc.
