   Hi Dave,

   This is not that difficult for a typical load/store RISC architecture.   
   You will need to keep track of the stack, and of arguments being passed in.   
   ARM has some additional challenges,   
      
   *) Almost all instructions can have conditional postfixes , this means   
   either your 3-address intermediate form have to have them as well, or   
   you would need to translate them into if-then-else.   
      
   *) The PC (R15) can be the destination in many instructions which means   
   implied branches   
      
   *) The last operand can be shifted or rotated, again this can be   
   represented in your IR or has to be split into two (with a temp   
   variable).   
      
   Hope that helps.
