I'm working on a compiler and I'm looking for good resources on backends. Even if I use something like LLVM IR I still need an implementation of my own. I've been looking at the purple dragon book which has helped a bit but is there any other good resource

I'm working on a compiler and I'm looking for good resources on backends. Even if I use something like LLVM IR I still need an implementation of my own. I've been looking at the purple dragon book which has helped a bit but is there any other good resources? I'm trying to read the source code of some small compilers but doing that is ropefuel.

Bumping this thread but I'm too retarded to really help you. Unjokingly try the documentation in TempleOS, I heard its good. Also suckless endorses the following:
cproc - frontend for C11 for QBE.
lacc - A simple, self-hosting C compiler.
qbe - compiler backend targeting AMD64 (Linux and OSX), ARM64, and RISC-V64.
scc - Simple C Compiler.
tcc - Tiny C Compiler git repo

Other than that, you can try asking LLMs to explain concepts and other source code to you
