Thank you very much.

I'd say better to study compile theory and a kind of compiler source code.

Yes, gcc source definitely makes a great cautionary tale about the need of
writing elegant code and dreadful results of not doing so.

LOL

I specifically recommend the ARM backend.  It was copied from some other 
RISC target, then a ARM thumb (16bit instruction width) backend was split 
from that, and finally the thumb and 32bit backends were merged again, 
apparently without removing much of the duplicated code.

Fun.
