Hi,

I've been looking around for anything related to compiler development for
8-bit processors. I'm looking at a couple of projects and one is a z80 based
project and one is a compiler. I am wanting to target multiple platforms with
the compiler, but I would like to generate z80 as well as 32-64-other-bit
platforms.

Is there any particular research out there that I cannot seem to find that you
know of? Is there anything specific I need to know? Should I just generate
from an SSA form, or is it just ad-hoc stuff?

Thanks,
Luke.
[There are plenty of compilers for 8 bit machines, particulary at
retrocomputing sites, but I don't recall a lot of interesting code
generation stuff.  They tend to have so few registers and be so
irregular that little of the optimization stuff intended for code
generation applies. -John]
