[erlang-questions] compiler abstract syntax

[Cláudio Amaral]

Hello list!

I have a generic question but I am looking for answers with specifics.

I would like to do some of the Erlang's compilation steps and make some 
fun stuff with the abstract/intermediate representation and generate C 
code after. The problem is that it is hard to navigate in the compiler 
modules without some guidance knowledge and I am getting easily lost.

Do you know where should I be really spending my time on? Where is the 
right place to play with the internal representation, what steps were 
made already, what steps are missing and where can I find the individual 
compilation/analysis steps.

Sorry for not being more specific.

Appreciate all the help I can get.

Best,
Cláudio.
