Probably some mix between last1120c and what made sense to me.
Actually found a bug in my compiler related to this, will have to check
my earlier (tree) compiler for this too.
Do you still have the version that generates a tree
before codegen?

I know that generating code while parsing is possible
for stack based
machines, this is also how Crenshaw describes it in its document (but
for 68k).
What I found somewhat difficult and why i opted for the tree-approach
was mainly handling lvalues (but also conditional operators get a bit
easier).
If you have 'x = y', the compiler is supposed to generate
va; 1 / lval of x
a; 2 / rval of y
b1 / =
but when you pop the = it's already too late to change the 'a' to a
'va'. So my solution was to remember one operator of output so i can
combine it with the next one. I'm still not entirely happy with it (the
build() function especially), but it doesn't seem entirely wrong and
does generate matching B code.
Still, if people have suggestions how to do this better, I'd love to get
some feedback on this.
