Book Description

This is a guide to compiler construction using compiler's compiler tools like Flex and Bison. Using both tools, you can focus on the concept of compiler without the hassle of building a compiler from scratch. Still, you are required to be fluent in C programming in order to use both tools and the generated C code should be compiled using a pure ANSI C compiler like GCC (GNU Compiler Collection).

It details the techniques and methods used to implement the different phases of the compiler with the help of FLEX and YACC tools. The topics in the book are systematically arranged to help students understand and write reliable programs in FLEX and YACC. The uses of these tools are amply demonstrated through more than a hundred solved programs to facilitate a thorough understanding of theoretical implementations discussed.

• 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.

• Essentials of Compilation: An Incremental Approach in Racket

  A hands-on approach to understanding and building compilers using Racket. 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.

• Compiler Design in C (Allen I. Holub)

  It teaches real-world compiler design concepts and implementation, with 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, etc.
