Nicklaus Wirth's "Compiler Construction" text (his 3rd in this genre)
describes the small language Oberon-0 and walks thru writing a compiler
for this.
The compiler targets a RISC architecture for which he provides an emulator.
And - Dr. Wirth made the book available for free - you can get it from:
http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/CBEAll.pdf
and - you can read an HTML version (as well as get a copy of the sources)
from:
https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/CompilerConstruction/index.html
as with all of Dr. Wirth's code - it is very small and very elegant while
simulaneously touching on all the major topics. The text and the code
are very approachable to an undergraduate student.
