The disassembler is not part of the code generation, but you could not develop a code generator without a disassembler, so add another 3k lines. >I'm guessing VFX is written in >horizontal style, so each line has as much content as several typical C >lines, but still, that's pretty small for a serious compiler.

I read the Dragon book long >ago, but it's pretty old by now. The project was started about 15 years ago. We read all the compiler books of the time, plus the published Forth papers and code. These days, there's nothing about compiling for Forth that cannot be found in the compiler literature.
