graduation thesis help on compiler.

[jolley]

i want to get a simple compiler as my graduation works,any ideas?
and there are certain requirement of my compiler,
programming language :c++(mainly),assembly
time allowed : one year for it is in my third year in univerisity now ,my time limited.
compiler information:able to perform simple instruction like printf,scanf,etc.
participatants : one.
and with the google,i can get a similar information:
http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?
and i know little about the atari!
but now i be puzzled by how my works will proceed, i doubted my idea,but i will stick to this ..
and also
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=109148
but in above posts people seems to prefer LISP,it is totally new to me.and moreover my time doesnot allow me to learn LISP ,because i will graduate this time next year,and i comsider it as a good way of practising my c++,

any ideas about the platfrom,or courses,or books or web informations,and such compilation information?

and what did u do when u graduate like what's kind of thesis u did for graduate as a bachelor?
an d i have gcc source code and documentations at hand.and does it mean that i will be advised to start with GCC analyse?
thanks indeed.
regards,
