Well, I would extend that and ask. Has anybody completed implementing the Lexer/Parser phase? Once you get the Syntax tree or IR, the complexity is more or less

Well, I would extend that and ask. Has anybody completed implementing the Lexer/Parser phase? Once you get the Syntax tree or IR, the complexity is more or less (if not exactly the same) similar to other languages.
- WalterBright 13y agoI've written a complete C++98 compiler, front to back.
- pkaye 13y agoHow long did something like that take you to do?
- WalterBright 13y ago10 years
- arcft 13y agoMr. Bright, you're my hero. Really. Not only because you have made a C++ compiler using recusive descent parser and it's was the first ever to generate native code and the first comercial too and you don't even do generate assembly on dmd. You still made the D language and dmd compiler. A world saving tool from C and C++. It will rock the world. Could you imagine one of the next world's famous software like Windows or *BSD written in D? Also, I'm on the way on compiler business too (joke :-)). (sorry english, not my native language)
- madhusudancs 13y agoI am going to second arcft now. You are now my hero too! Wow, 10 years!
