This is a hot AI research field. 'Deep compilers' touch topics like
least cost parsing and optimization of other compilation steps.
But AFAIU there is no such holistic thing like automatic complete
compiler construction a la
Compiler = f (grammar, software-infrastructure, target-hardware)


Some state of the art overview:

OTOH code generators based on graphical input are already "old hats".
