   Third party compiler middle and back-end   
   08 Oct 10 19:57:03   
   
   From: danielzazula@gmail.com   
      
   I want to write a compiler that generates assembly, but I do not know   
   assembly, I've already started studying the FASM, but it will take   
   much time to learn everything I need to know in order to write a   
   decent back-end.   
      
   So I though about using a third party back-end, I would write the   
   front-end that parse the language into a intermediate code and leave   
   the rest to the back-end. I gave a look at GCC but it is too big, too   
   vast and too complex for what I want. Microsoft's Phoenix also don't   
   work for me since it generates CIL.   
      
   The back-end that I'm looking for needs to generate at least x86   
   Assembly (although I prefer Amd64), I don't mind if it generates other   
   assemblies as well. I prefer back-ends written in C# or Object Pascal,   
   but I will also accept C/C++ ones.   
      
   Any suggestions?
