Enrico: You will need to understand how compilers work. A good place to start would be a University course on compiler construction. Such a course might use the textbook "Compilers Principles, Techniques, & Tools" 2nd edition, 2007 by Aho, Lam, Sethi and Ullman Pearson Addison Wesley or "modern compiler implementation in Java" 2nd edition, 2002 by Andrew W. Appel Cambridge University Press
