By 'object code' I understand relocatable machine code. I'm not sure
if this is what you mean, but if it is, read on... If you are asking
more generally about code generation then please ignore this message!


I'm no expert, but I tried this recently on a PC (pentium). The best
solution I found was modelled on the approach taken by Nasm (the
'Netwide Assembler'). The source is freely available and quite
readable once you get into it. They use a sort of virtual machine to
construct machine intstructions from a table of templates.


Hope this is of some use

Some people do it for fun, John ;-)
