C.

I use gcc. The idea is that it should compile using  any compiler.

excuse not to speak English even using translate.google

I am Brazilian

I am beginner in programming and use freepascal and now nasm for my simple programs.

I have as much curiocidade are writing compilers. I did not read any book on the subject yet.

Frank Kotler deseloper you like compilers

if you understand me I Reply

the compiler translates the code for another target language and this language generates an executable file.

then a compiler for a new language will always have the language compiler that generates executable.

I've never been to Brazil. I friend of mine tells me it's a beautiful country. Mostly, I think he likes the women! :)

I don't know what books about compilers are available in other languages. If you can't find anything, you might "have to" learn English. It isn't an especially "good" language, but it's fairly commonly used... and is the only one I know.

I'm not really a "developer". I like Nasm. There were rumors that Nasm was "dead" - wasn't being developed anymore. I found that there was a mailing list for Nasm developers, so I signed up - just to see what was happening. There was discussion about bugs, and approximately where to look to fix 'em, so I was able to make some minor contributions. So I'm a "Nasm developer".  I'm not very interested in writing assemblers or compilers in general.

As I understand it, a compiler could emit machine language directly. Usually, a compiler emits code for an intermediate language, and that language generates the executable, right.

Good luck with your programming, whatever the language!

Best,
Frank

I have never been in Brazil neither, but I think that's right :)

What happens with you Americans, haven't never studied a foreign language? Maybe French? German?  ;D

I "took" French in High School. I was enrolled in German in college. The class met Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 AM. So I'm told...

Ahhhh, French, what a beautiful language!. I studied it in Elementary School, but in High School I changed it by English... However, Spanish is what I'm best at ...  ;D
