+2. [High-Level Compiler Architecture][p2]: Discusses the high-level

+3. [Source Code Representation][p3]: Describes the process of taking raw source code from the user and

+4. [Analysis][p4]: discusses the analyses that the compiler uses to check various

+5. [From MIR to Binaries][p5]: How linked executable machine code is generated.
 6. [Appendices][app] at the end with useful reference information. There are a
    few of these with different information, inluding a glossary.
