Re: Two-pass C compilers

Hmmm ... beat me if I something silly, but: Is there any way around
a two-pass compiler? (Or even more passes)


First pass: Reading in the source, preprocessing it, building a symbol table.
Second pass: Generate p-Code
Third pass: Optimize p-Code (Note: Do not mix with 2nd pass or you are
in deep trouble)
Fourth pass: Generate native code in linkable object file

[I would call those compiler phases, and use "pass" to mean reading the source
code. A classic two-pass assembler reads the source once to establish values
for the symbols and again to generate object code and maybe a listing using
the symbol values. -John]
