A step-by-step tutorial series documenting the journey of writing a self-compiling compiler for a subset of C, with detailed explanations of each stage from lexical scanning to code generation. Each part includes working C code and practical commentary with references to compiler theory.
Use cases
- learn how to write a compiler from scratch
- understand lexical analysis and parsing
- build a compiler for a C subset
- learn how compilers generate assembly code
- study compiler construction with practical examples
- follow a hands-on compiler tutorial
When to choose
- you want a practical, code-first introduction to compiler writing
- you prefer learning by building incrementally with explanations
- you want to see how a self-compiling C compiler comes together step by step
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready compiler or full C standard compliance
- you want deep formal compiler theory rather than a practical walkthrough
- you need a compiler for languages other than the C subset covered
