 		 #136769 - Compiler?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Craig Steiner said:
But I would also say there's certainly great benefit in getting to know an architecture at a level that you can write an assembler or, better yet, a compiler.

For the purpose of getting to know an architecture, I'd say that the assembler was the better option.
An Assembler has a direct 1:1 mapping from source instructions to machine instructions.

With a compiler, I'd have thought there'd be too many distractions from the detail of the high-level language, and its extra complexities...?
