Product Description

Product Description

This book covers thru .NET Common Language Runtime; the latest environment for component leased programming or Microsoft Platforms. This book deals with implementation of conventional programming languages. The book will have two examples used to illustrate the main points of the text.



From the Back Cover

  • Go "under the hood" with .NET's Common Language Runtime!
  • The definitive book for serious software engineers, compiler developers, and language implementers
  • Mapping any language's key features onto .NET's common object model
  • Comprehensive coverage of Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL)
  • Includes extensive examples drawn from C#

The first practical guide to Microsoft's .NET Common Language Runtime!

Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the first book to give software engineers all the details and guidance they need to create full-featured .NET compilers or implement programming languages for the .NET environment. Renowned compiler expert John Gough presents an unprecedented "under the hood" inspection of Microsoft's .NET CLR, illuminating the key concepts underlying Microsoft's new technology and demonstrating exactly how CLR maximizes interoperability across multiple programming languages. The book uses a running example to illustrate its key points(Gough's own open source Gardens Point Component Pascal compiler(which can be used as a basis for sophisticated experimentation.

  • Reviews every element of CLR: Virtual Execution Engine, Base Instruction Set, Common Type System, and more
  • Shows how to map a language's key features onto the .NET Virtual Object System's common object model
  • Explains how CLR represents programs at compile time
  • Explores the semantic analysis performed by CLR prior to emitting Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code
  • Provides in-depth coverage of MSIL code generation
  • Covers features needed by a wide range of languages
  • Explores advanced topics such as accessing nonlocal variables and supporting multiple inheritance
  • Includes many examples drawn from Microsoft's new C# language

If you need absolute mastery over the .NET CLR, only one book delivers what you're looking for: Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) by John Gough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very cool book, but very specialised, 12 Feb 2002
By A Customer
The book really does have two halves - a description of some CLR internals, and some details of a Pascal compiler design and implementation. The material devoted to the first is excellent, but I really didn't want compiler theory as well - the book doesn't cover the topic very widely (which is probably good anyway) but I wish it didn't go into as much depth as it does.

Certainly there are very useful snippets, such as showing how to map covariance into .Net code, but the general topics of constructing ASTs, for example, have little to do with .Net and are given much better coverage in other books on computer language theory.

However, even with that criticism, this book is a very good look at the production of a compiler for .Net though don't expect it to become your only book on compiler design.
