glen, > Someone in comp.lang.c is interested in understanding how a 40 years > old C compilers works, but doesn't know much about compilers. This begs the question of what is the oldest compiler still in production use. Here is a non-C candidate: http://shape-of-code.coding-guidelines.com/2012/08/31/the-oldest-compiler-still-in-production-use-is/ > Seems to me that one way to learn is to read 40 year old compiler books. They don't always reflect reality on the ground. Here is a 30 year old C compiler: http://www.desmet-c.com/ and of course the grandaddy of them all: http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/primevalC.html
