obcpl (BCPL compiler)
This is an x86 (IA-32) port of the "classic" old BCPL compiler (around
1980) from the Tripos Research Group at Cambridge University.
As a real, working computer language implementation, that can be studied,
modified, and played with, this old BCPL compiler has a good deal to
recommend it. The compiler frontend consists of only about 2000 lines
of BCPL code, and (as supplied here) compiles to a static (fully-linked)
x86 binary that is less than 36000 bytes in size.
x86_64 note: obcpl doesn't require multilib on Slackware64. It only
generates 32-bit x86 code, but the binaries it creates are 100% statically
linked, and will run fine on Slackware64 without multlib.
