This is not directly ANTLR related but have any of you come across a guide, 
tutorial or book (preferably) for implementing an compiler for an object 
oriented language.  I don't mean the compiler is created using an object 
oriented languages, though that would be good.  I mean what goes into 
implementing subclassing, method overriding, hybrid language type safety such 
as objective-c (static and dynamic type) enforcement.  Also things like 
implementing exceptions and polymorphic variables.  I've used them in languages 
but I haven't read how you might go about go about implementing them.  I have a 
few compiler books but interestingly enough, they all deal with procedural 
languages like C or Pascal.  None of them talk about the innards of making 
compilers for object oriented languages.  I do own "Language Implementation 
Patterns", which helped me understand scopes for object languages.
I'm hoping to start with a book that lets you know what to do, what not to do 
and why you don't want to do it that way.  I'd like to start with making fresh 
mistakes versus ones that have been made over and over again.
Thank you kindly,

Waverly
