<p>I find that understanding how a given software language is compiled can be key to understanding best practices and getting the most out of that language.  This seems to be doubly true with C++. Is there a good primer or document (for mortals) that describes C++ from the point of view of the compiler?  (Obviously every compiler is a little different.)</p>

<p>I thought there may be something along those lines in the beginning of Stroustrup's book.</p>
