Retargetable is the LCC book ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/0805316701 )…

my interest in compilers goes waaaay back, ever since I ran into the original smallc implementations. that and VM’s since I tried cracking zmachine way back in the 80s and that magnetic scrolls wrote an entire 68k cpu emulator to port sinclair ql games to every other machine around…

Is your interest in compilers based on your game, or some other tangent?

Also by retargetable compiler design, there seems to be three books that could match which one do you mean.

aah the lexx + yacc book.. I have this, there is a new version coming out soon that should be a good upgrade. I have the pragprog antlr book, its interesting but antlr seems massively complex :( right now I'm going over writing compilers + interpreters by mak, retargetable compiler design, and holub's old compiler design book. I have others I dont like as much (dragon bleach, modern compiler design, some other old dusty tomes). Edited by Simeon to add links.
