  3. lcc

    The lcc retargetable ANSI C compiler

    Those aren’t necessarily written as people would do that today, but you may try Knuth’s literate sources for TeX[1] and METAFONT. That category also includes LCC[3], but A retargetable C compiler is a book that you’d need to buy; and PBRT[4], but Physically based rendering is more exposition than program (even though the program is perfectly usable). The source for Unix V6[5] with the accompanying commentary by Lions is probably as much of a classic as it gets. And as an eccentric choice in a similar format, may I suggest cmForth[6], perhaps accompanied by Footsteps in an empty valley[7]?

    Also, though this is not precisely what you’re asking for, The architecture of open-source applications and its sequels[8] have

  5. ghc

    Mirror of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. Please submit issues and patches to GHC's Gitlab instance (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc). First time contributors are encouraged to get started with the newcomers info (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/contributing).

    Discontinued The original sources of MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0, for reference purposes

    >Any others I'm missing?

    I would suggest MS-DOS: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS

  7. zsh

    Mirror of the Z shell source code repository.

  8. ZLib

    A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.
