   Perhaps you should looks at scripting language implementations, where the   
   code has to be compiled every time it is run, so compilation needs to be   
   fast. For example, the Lua interpreter compiles code to a register-based   
   virtual machine so its front end has a structure very similar to a simple   
   stand-alone compiler.
