Abstract The paper presents some of the solved problems and adopted solutions that appeared during the designing and realizing process of a compiler for a subset of Object Pascal programming language that is dedicated to the programming of handheld devices. The first part of this paper presents two automated generating tools also designed by the authors. These tools were used for the development of the compiler. The paper continues by detailing the structure and functions of the compiler’s components. The compiler generates virtual object code in the output that can be executed on handheld devices with Palm OS.
