You will be wanting to see the ECMAScript specification which can tell
you step by step how to build a script compiler. For some example
source code of various script engines, go to www.code.google.com/p/juke
and download the juke source code. The compiler there has no running
example but if you browse into the code to the vm/mod/sx folder you
will find some file like jsParser and that might help you. Check out
the root parser and the expression parsing if you are able.


Actually a really good reference is also the ECMA335 specification
from ECMA. Can tel lyou how to make a VM.
