Sorry to keep posting, last one i promise!!
Diffrent question, if one day in the distant future I wanted to create a compiler, would it be possible in C++, or are they written in assembely language, like the machine code, if so I understand learning assembely language needs a MASSIVE learning curve, far greater than C++ as it is such a low=level language. Am I correct in this, I would appreiciate your views
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
You can right a compiler in whatever programming language you wanted. You could compile source code to machine code with a compiler written in Perl if you wanted. Or with a compiler written in Brain............
BrainfXck (where X is U (duh)) is really quite an interesting language. I was reading about it recently and managed get hold of a compiler for it.
Programming in the language is somewhat laborious (more so than C) due to the obsfucated nature of the language itself. Still it's different, and different is good.
Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.
