Examples/resources for the "middle end" of a compiler?

Show all headers | View raw

I have worked up a scanner and parser for a primitive version of C,
but I have hit a block on how to extend the code further to make
a fully working compiler.

I have a lisp-like list containing sublists and token objects.
What does a nice tree traversal code look like? Any thoughts or
suggestions? I can add annotations in the parser to insert things
to search for.

Perhaps my problem is vague criteria. I kind of want to make a
code formatting tool first rather than a compiler, so I really want
some kind of middle-end processing that makes formatting easier.

I am ignoring the rats nest issue of the preprocessor entirely for
the present.

To put it succinctly, are there any good examples of lisp code for
processing a C-like grammar that handles the middle end nicely?
Or any related stuff I should look at? tia
