Compiler for accumulator-based processor

Hi,


I don't know much about compilers but I'd like to build (or get) one
to produce code for a very simple 8-bit microprocessor named Hercules
(originally designed by Pr. N.Wirth for educationnal purpose).


It is based on a single register ("accumulator").


I guess many of you have designed such a compiler (from C or Pascal to
assembly language). So I'd be interessted in any information,advice or
available software


Thanks in advance !

[It's just like any other processor, except that the register allocation
is really easy. One approach is to treat intermediate values as a stack,
put the top of the stack in the accumulator, and spill to fixed memory
locations. -John]
