Some years ago, I bought the LCC book.

The book explains it in some detail, in addition to any comments
in the code.  As well as I know, it is meant for understanding.

It is especially convenient if you only what to retarget the code
generator, for a new (or existing) machine.

I have no desire to look at gcc.
