    I think that the current trend in compiler design is the following
structure.


                                              Parsing and Lexical analisys
                                                                    |
                                                                    |
                                                                    V
                                                  Abstract Syntax Tree Generation
                                                                    |
                                                                    |
                                                                    V
                                                  Intermediate Code Generation
                                                                    |
                                                                    |
                                                                    V
                                                    Intermediate Code Optimization
                                                                    |
                                                                    |
                                                                    V
                                                        Native Code Generation
                                                                    |
                                                                    |
                                                                    V
                                                        Native Code Optimization




      The translation between AST generation and intermediate code generation
is done in per "procedure" or per statement basis.


        I would like to know if this is correct and if it is the way the
commercial compilers are build.


        Bye.
