Backend compiler basics?

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this might not be the right list to post. I'm writing a backend for a cross-compiler (host = sun-solaris-sparc and target = our own machine).

I didn't have any experience with any compiler. Is there any resource that I can learn all the basics that I need? I was reading the online Gcc manual and didn't understand "Frame pointer", "Arg pointer", "eliminate frame pointer" ...etc.

Any reference to websites is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Desmond Cheung
