Writing a native language compiler.

I've to implement my custom native-compiled Windows programming language. Is there an easier way then translating it to ASM, or translating it to C/C++ and then use a C/C++ compiler? Is there any SDK or something?

Thank you.

A: 

Check out ANTLR library

Wouldn't this be a better link to ANTLR ?

There is also a tutorial

And at least one book

I don't really understand, the ANTLR is translating my own language to another?

Yes it handles all the details of parsing your language and then by generating C/python etc it also saves you dealing with the details of assembler on your platform. It's a replacemnet for YACC/Lex etc.

LLVM can run under Visual Studio

this is one is not bad either, though pales in comparison to my answer!!

@Andrei, i wasn't going to mention ANTLR since you did it, but LLVM is a good alternative.
