C# compiler? anyone knows how it's written?

[MrPolite]

Do you know if MS announced what parser/compiler generator tools they've used to create the C# compiler? just curious

[eSPiYa]

What I know about their compiler is the command line, mcs.
Example: mcs program.cs

I found it w/ MONO, they confirmed that they are using C#'s compiler and when I'm compiling my codes in MONO I'm using that command line and my program works.
If I compile the program using VS2005 it still works w/ MONO so I analyzed that it is the mcs.

eh mcs? isnt that just microsoft c sharp?
I meant to ask what tools they've used to actually write something like "mcs"? I doubt they've written it by hand from scratch lol

The C# compiler is written in C++, I believe. Someone told me they saw a T-shirt in Redmond a C++ guy was wearing that said "My compiler compiles your compiler". Too funny.

Try this .

thanks for the replies!
none of them however answer me

They won't tell anyone what exactly the tools they are using in creating their products.
However, you can write your own compiler w/ any programming tools (but not WEB Development tools ) and the guide from the link that I post.
