I want to write a compiler that generates assembly, but I do not know
assembly, I've already started studying the FASM, but it will take
much time to learn everything I need to know in order to write a
decent back-end.


So I though about using a third party back-end, I would write the
front-end that parse the language into a intermediate code and leave
the rest to the back-end. I gave a look at GCC but it is too big, too
vast and too complex for what I want. Microsoft's Phoenix also don't
work for me since it generates CIL.


The back-end that I'm looking for needs to generate at least x86
Assembly (although I prefer Amd64), I don't mind if it generates other
assemblies as well. I prefer back-ends written in C# or Object Pascal,
but I will also accept C/C++ ones.


Any suggestions?
