The ACPI Component Architecture Project
The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an operating system (OS)-independent reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI). It can be easily adapted to execute under any host OS. The ACPICA code is meant to be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem. Hosting the ACPICA subsystem requires no changes to the core ACPICA code. Instead, a small OS-specific interface layer is written specifically for each host OS in order to interface the ACPICA code to the native OS services.
You can download the ACPICA windows source code in the https://www.acpica.org/downloads/source_code.php. You can build it by Visual studio and play it.
But the iASL(ASLCompiler) is more complex to build it. And it will need
For iASL, these versions of Flex and Bison are required:
flex: version 2.5.4 or greater
bison: version 2.4.1 or greater
Please download and setup flex and bison from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/.
You can install the bison and flex in the C:\GnuWin32.
After all, you will need to m4.exe and regex2.dll to the .\acpica\generate\msvc9 to build it OK.
