You might find it more useful (though admittedly more expensive) to
grab a textbook or other reference, rather than working from code for
something like this.
yes, i plan on it ... this is my to buy, borrow, ask for list (does it
make sense?):
Programming Language Essentials
Henri Bal, Dick Grune 1994
Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide
Dick Grune, C. Jacobs 1991
I've not got those two, so I can't comment.
Modern Compiler Design
D. Grune, H. Bal, C. Jacobs 2000
This one we already know my opinion of. :)
Building an Optimizing Compiler
Robert Morgan, C. Robert Morgan 1997
I've got this, and I like it, but it's dense.
The Art of Compiler Design
Thomas Pittman 1997
Not got this one.
the Dragon Book
Alfred V Aho 1985
Don't bother. It's a waste of money and time at this point. Other
books are much better.
Compiler Construction: Principles and Practice
Kenneth Louden 1997
Not seen this one either.
Guess it's time for Quantum Books to get more of my cash...
