Thanks Rainer. I'll work on that this evening. Then I need to check where else the same pattern applies. I know it'll also affect multiple and divide, which...

I can't say "used" but I did play around with ANTLR enough to think that it looked quite good. My opinion is that you should write your own parser generator at...

I've used PLY a number of times, it's a reasonable lexer and parser generator and pretty easy once you get the hang of it. It uses rules built into pydoc...
Just to bring folks up to date on what I've been puttering with lately, I took the compiler I started on last year for our coding competition, and have been...
I'm working on signed arithmetic comparisons at the moment. I have a simple procedure that prints a signed number. It tests to see if the parameter is < 0,...
I don't think you've misunderstood the instructions. My suspicion is that nasm has mixed up the opcodes. Get it to show you the code listing to confirm. SETL...
