There's a book called "Crafting a Compiler in C" and (I think) a later
version named "Crafting a Compiler in C++", which, though dated,
contains may of the patterns you'll need. Hennessy & Patterson's
"Computer Architecture - A Quantitative Approach" may also come in
handy, even though it does not directly deal with compiler
development. A quick search should reveal places to obtain them.


Once you're familiar with the terminology, the net is full
of examples of other peoples toy languages many of which
are rich sources of ideas (though the quailty of these ideas
may vary).


I'd recommend looking up Flex (Lex) and Bison (Yacc) as
they may help too. I use them to code prototype grammers
before coding those grammers manually -- but they may, in
themselves, be good enough for your purposes.

building a real compiler with yacc and C. -John]
