Re: Two questions about compiler design

You could use the following as "intermediate code"
Java Virtual Machine code
or the Intermediate code from .NET. Both have plenty of documentation as
to the standard and would have the advantage that you don't need to write
the interpreter.
Alternatively there is Pcode, a very simple stack based system (compared to
the above two). There are references
available on the Internet for Pcode and an interpreter is easy to write for
Pcode.
