Dr Dobbs Journal, for many years, was involved with a project called the
"Small C Compiler" that was a subset of the C programming language, writing
using recursive descent.


I remember reading an article that someone had extended this to a full
implementation of C.


I believe this must have used backtracking as C does not convert well to
LL(1).
