Check out Chapter 15, "An Example of a Compiler", of _What Computing
is All About_, by Jan L.A. van de Snepscheut (published by
Springer-Verlag, 1993). It's the text used in CS 20, the advanced
CS class here at Caltech. I happen to be taking the class. Anyway,
the chapter describes a full stack machine, and has a stack-machine
interpreter in Pascal and a compiler which compiles from Pascal-S (a
simple variant of Pascal) to the stack language.


I don't really recommend the book; it's extremely dense and hard to
understand. If you want the text of the compiler and stack-machine
interpreter, send me email; I can probably get ahold of it on disk.
