I'm currently writing a full ANSI C compiler, and I want to make the
compiler very portable and easy retargetable to different platform. I'm
interested in Jim Hendrix's Small C approach which use a table to
associate p-code and 8086 assembly string code. If the translation table
stored in a file, the user of the compiler can retarget the compiler
without rebuilding the compiler.


I want to use that approach, but Jim Hendrix's p-code cannot handle
variative data structure in ANSI C specification. And it seems that the
p-code designs to suit to Accumulator Based Machine (it has only 2
integer registers).


Does anyone know a different kind of p-code which is more general ? Any
suggestion regarding this is very welcome.


I appreciate any help and suggestion. Thank you.
