Algorithms for converting bytecode for virtual stack machines into
native code of an acceptable quality are also quite straight-forward.
For an example of a bytecode compiler, an interpreter, and some simple
native code backends (->386, ->8086, ->C), see the T3X compiler on
my homepage ('projects').
A document describing the design of Tcode -- the bytecode language used
by the compiler -- can be found on my homepage, too (in the file
t3x-docs.zip in the archive).
