This is FYI. No comment on whether it was a good idea or not. :-)

Hello!
For demonstration purpose I put my experiment with a compiler backdoor in a
public repository
https://github.com/montao/ddc-tinyc/blob/857d927363e9c9aaa713bb20adbe99ded7…
It's part of my academic project to work on provable compiler security.
I tried to do it according to the "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken
Thompson, not only to show a compiler Trojan horse but also to prove that
we can discover it.
What it does is inject arbitrary code to the next version of the compiler
and so on.
