How many lines of code does a compiler contain?
I cloc'd two compilers for xic, compilers written by cornell students for a compilers class which compile a toy C-like language down to assembly, possibly with some extensions. One compiler was about 11k sloc, the other about 32k. Both compilers are written mainly in OCaml, which is a terse language that is pretty optimal for compiler development, but have some java code in them as well. I think these are good examples of mostly minimal compilers which compile a C-like down to asm, though they are very rudimentary compared to more serious projects. I want to emphasize that this is not very meaningful without more details about what you are looking to know.

What is an example of a good, modern OCaml codebase that I can learn from?
Here's a compiler for a C-like language written in OCaml (note: I am not one of the authors though I did take the class). Despite it being a college project I think it shows very clean design and particularly good use of preprocessors. All of the details for the language and stuff is linked at the bottom. It's a relatively small codebase of course but I think this is good educationally.
