[Sdcc-user] Dissection of a compiler

[Jan W. <we...@ef...>]

Maybe this is not the best place to start with this, but...

There is an article in the sdcc doc, on anatomy of sdcc. However, this is
too vague to provide a clue for those, who want to start making
modifications; or to make a new port; or just to understand better how this
whole stuff works.

Apparently, there are few of those who gained this knowledge in the hard
way - let's call them simply "old boys" :-) But, still, almost zero
documentation for the newbies, except the sources themselves...

Can I place a couple of questions here, in this thread; aimed at the
whereabouts of the compiler - with the hope, that if I get answers from the
"old boys", this might be a basis of a "anatomy in depth"/"where to start
and where to continue"/"how to port" document in the future? I believe I am
untouched enough to ask the right newbie questions, although I might be too
stupid to ask the right questions - please help me out if needed.

Thanks
