Product Description

Product Description
This textbook explains all phases of a modern compiler: lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection via tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-colouring register allocation with coalescing, and runtime systems. It covers current techniques in code generation and register allocation, as well as functional and object-oriented languages, which are missing from most books. The author illustrates the most accepted and successful techniques in a concise way, rather than as an exhaustive catalogue of every possible variant. Detailed descriptions of the interfaces between modules of a compiler are illustrated with actual C header files. A unique feature of the book is a well-designed compiler implementation project in C, including front-end and ‘high-tech’ back-end phases, so that students can build a complete working compiler in one semester. The textbook is meant for use in a one-semester first course for undergraduates in compiler design. Accompanying support software is available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but error-ridden, 1 April 1998
By A Customer
This book provides a great overview of compiler-writing in general, with excellent discussions of issues like parsing, code generation, register allocation, and optimizations. This particular version (the C version) of the book, however, seems to contain a lot of typos in the code samples -- even without a compiler, I could see that most of them will not compile. If you can figure out what he meant, however, the algorithms are very sound.
