- Hi! I'm a lab instructor at Auburn University looking for project ideas for
- my systems programming and compiler labs. I'd like to have my students write a
- stripped-down C compiler and a macro assembler for the 80x88 family. (We'll use
- the MS-DOS linker -- no time to write our own. :) ).
- What I'd like:
-
- 1. Pointers to public-domain compilers and assemblers. I'm already aware of
- Small C and the GNU C compilers -- I'd like more to examine.
-
- 2. Suggestions, advice, warnings, and anecdotes from anyone who's written
- either of these at another University. I'm particularly interested in
- finding out what you feel is appropriate for an 8-week, 3 hours/week
- programming lab (for example, only integer arithmetic, no complex data
- structures, etc.).
-
- Please email your advice, and I'll sort it out and post an organized summary
- in January. Thanks in advance!
