The book "A retargetable C compiler: Design and implementation" by
C Fraser and D Hanson explains the source code for their C-compiler,
including code-generation for three targets (R3000,SPARC,386).
The book is a "literate program".


I've only read the bit on parsing and syntax error recovery so YMMV.
