Can anyone point me to some good resources for writing compilers in C++? I've
looked on Google etc but can't find the sort of thing I'm after. I've sort of
blagged my way through turning expressions into trees and generating virtual
machine code and so on but could really do with some more input. Don't really
understand all the LR jargon and stuff and am perfectly happy scanning without
using all these clever lex sort of things. Any links very much appreciated.

You could download the D programming language package, which includes the
complete front end of the D compiler written in C++.
