    This is my first compiler, so I expect there to be several things I can improve :)

    I tried to follow the Assembly calling conventions the best I could.

    I am looking forward to any feedback!

    You can try FASM (http://flatassembler.net) besides YASM and ld.

    Curios if you looked into ANTLR? That's what was used most recently as part of my compiler's course at Georgia Tech.

    What would be your advice to someone who's about to write a compiler? I'm planning to start by reading the Dragon book.
