Book Description

Introduces the basics of compiler design, concentrating on the second pass (in a typical four-pass compiler), consisting of a lexical analyzer, parser, and a code generator. Uses the C language. Appropriate for compiler courses in CS departments.

For students, working engineers and programmers, this book teaches real-world compiler design concepts and implementation. The text dedicates the first chapter to an overview of the basic concepts in C programming, and presents a complete C compiler, including the complete sources for three compiler-generation tools (written in ANSI C).

It also uses LeX and yacc to develop a complete C compiler, and includes a chapter dedicated to the coverage of C++ topics and features.

• Essentials of Compilation: An Incremental Approach in Python

  A hands-on approach to understanding and building compilers using Python. Explains the essential concepts, algorithms, and data structures that underlie modern compilers and lays the groundwork for future study of advanced topics.

• Introduction to Compilers and Language Design (Douglas Thain)

  This book offers a one semester introduction into compiler construction, enabling the reader to build a simple compiler that accepts a C-like language and translates it into working X86 or ARM assembly language.

• Compiler Design: Theory, Tools, and Examples (Seth Bergmann)

  This is an introductory level text for compiler design courses, that emphasizes problem solving skills. The concepts are clearly presented with sampler problems and diagrams to illustrate the concepts.

• Basics of Compiler Design (Torben Mogensen)

  This book presents techniques for making realistic, though non-optimizing compilers for simple programming languages using methods that are close to those used in 'real' compilers, albeit slightly simplified in places for presentation purposes.

• Compiler Construction (William M. Waite, et al)

  This is a modern text written by two leaders in the field. It demonstrates how a compiler is built, and provides the reader with a firm theoretical basis for compiler construction and sound engineering principles.

• Implementing Programming Languages: Compilers and Interpreters

  This book follows a theory-based practical approach, where theoretical models serve as blueprint for actual coding. The reader is guided to build compilers and interpreters in a well-understood and scalable way.

• Let's Build a Compiler (Jack w. Crenshaw)

  This book provides a practically-oriented introduction to high-level programming language implementation. It covers the fundamental principles of the subject in an accessible way and presents the necessary background theory.

• Parsing Techniques - A Practical Guide (Dick Grune, et al)

  Parsing techniques provide a solid basis for compiler construction and linguistics, and contribute to all existing software: they enable Web browsers to analyze HTML pages and PostScript printers to analyze PostScript, code generation in compilers, etc.

• Compiling Techniques (F. R. A. Hopgood)

  In this book, the problem-oriented language to be compiled will be assumed to be as machine independent and as complex as a language like Fortran or Algol. Most examples will be drawn from one or other of these languages.

• Compiler Construction (Niklaus Wirth)

  A refreshing antidote to heavy theoretical tomes, this book is a concise, practical guide to modern compiler design and construction by an acknowledged master. Readers are taken step-by-step through each stage of compiler design.

• An Introduction to Compilers (Dirk Vermeir)

  This book addresses the essential aspects of compiler design at a level that is perfect for today's undergraduate. It provides the clearest, most cohesive treatment of the topic available for the junioror senior-level student.

• Compiler Construction (Wikibooks)

  The purpose of this book is to provide practical advice on writing a compiler, together with some practical examples of both compilers and interpreters, in order to break away from the concept that building compilers and interpreters are impossible tasks.

• The GENTLE Compiler Construction System (Friedrich Schroer)

  This book presents GENTLE, an integrated system for compiler writers. GENTLE supports the description of compilers at a very high level and relieves users from the need to deal with implementation details.

• Project Oberon - The Design of an Operating System and Compiler

  This book contains a definition of the Oberon Language and describes its relation to Modula-2 and the software tools developed with the system. This definitive, first-hand account of the design, development, and implementation of Oberon completes the Oberon trilogy.

• Assemblers and Loaders (David Salomon)

  Covering the design and implementation of assemblers and loaders, this comprehensive book opens with an introduction to one-pass and two-pass assemblers. Important concepts such as absolute and relocatable object files are discussed.

• Compiler Construction using Flex and Bison (Anthony Aaby)

  This is a guide to compiler construction using compiler's compiler tools like Flex and Bison. It details the techniques and methods used to implement the different phases of the compiler with the help of FLEX and YACC tools. You still needs C programming.
