A computer program that aids the process of transforming a source code language into another computer language is called compiler. It is used to create executable programs. Compiler design refers to the designing, planning, maintaining, and creating computer languages, by performing run-time organization, verifying code syntax, formatting outputs with respect to linkers and assemblers, and by generating efficient object codes. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of compiler design. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of the subject. The text includes topics which provide in-depth information about its techniques, principles and tools. This textbook is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.

"Modern Compiler Design" makes the topic of compiler design more accessible by focusing on principles and techniques of wide application. By carefully distinguishing between the essential (material that has a high chance of being useful) and the incidental (material that will be of benefit only in exceptional cases) much useful information was packed in this comprehensive volume. The student who has finished this book can expect to understand the workings of and add to a language processor for each of the modern paradigms, and be able to read the literature on how to proceed. The first provides a firm basis, the second potential for growth.

"This new edition of the classic "Dragon" book has been completely revised to include the most recent developments to compiling. The book provides a thorough introduction to compiler design and continues to emphasize the applicability of compiler technology to a broad range of problems in software design and development. The first hall of the book is designed for use in an undergraduate compilers course while the second half can be used in a graduate course stressing code optimization."--BOOK JACKET.

This new, expanded textbook describes all phases of a modern compiler: lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection via tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-coloring register allocation, and runtime systems. It includes good coverage of current techniques in code generation and register allocation, as well as functional and object-oriented languages, that are missing from most books. In addition, more advanced chapters are now included so that it can be used as the basis for a two-semester or graduate course. The most accepted and successful techniques are described in a concise way, rather than as an exhaustive catalog of every possible variant. Detailed descriptions of the interfaces between modules of a compiler are illustrated with actual C header files. The first part of the book, Fundamentals of Compilation, is suitable for a one-semester first course in compiler design. The second part, Advanced Topics, which includes the advanced chapters, covers the compilation of object-oriented and functional languages, garbage collection, loop optimizations, SSA form, loop scheduling, and optimization for cache-memory hierarchies.

This book provides a practically-oriented introduction to high-level programming language implementation. It demystifies what goes on within a compiler and stimulates the reader's interest in compiler design, an essential aspect of computer science. Programming language analysis and translation techniques are used in many software application areas. A Practical Approach to Compiler Construction covers the fundamental principles of the subject in an accessible way. It presents the necessary background theory and shows how it can be applied to implement complete compilers. A step-by-step approach, based on a standard compiler structure is adopted, presenting up-to-date techniques and examples. Strategies and designs are described in detail to guide the reader in implementing a translator for a programming language. A simple high-level language, loosely based on C, is used to illustrate aspects of the compilation process. Code examples in C are included, together with discussion and illustration of how this code can be extended to cover the compilation of more complex languages. Examples are also given of the use of the flex and bison compiler construction tools. Lexical and syntax analysis is covered in detail together with a comprehensive coverage of semantic analysis, intermediate representations, optimisation and code generation. Introductory material on parallelisation is also included. Designed for personal study as well as for use in introductory undergraduate and postgraduate courses in compiler design, the author assumes that readers have a reasonable competence in programming in any high-level language.

As an outcome of the author's many years of study, teaching, and research in the field of Compilers, and his constant interaction with students, this well-written book magnificently presents both the theory and the design techniques used in Compiler Designing. The book introduces the readers to compilers and their design challenges and describes in detail the different phases of a compiler. The book acquaints the students with the tools available in compiler designing. As the process of compiler designing essentially involves a number of subjects such as Automata Theory, Data Structures, Algorithms, Computer Architecture, and Operating System, the contributions of these fields are also emphasized. Various types of parsers are elaborated starting with the simplest ones such as recursive descent and LL to the most intricate ones such as LR, canonical LR, and LALR, with special emphasis on LR parsers. The new edition introduces a section on Lexical Analysis discussing the optimization techniques for the Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) and a complete chapter on Syntax-Directed Translation, followed in the compiler design process. Designed primarily to serve as a text for a one-semester course in Compiler Design for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Computer Science, this book would also be of considerable benefit to the professionals. KEY FEATURES • This book is comprehensive yet compact and can be covered in one semester. • Plenty of examples and diagrams are provided in the book to help the readers assimilate the concepts with ease. • The exercises given in each chapter provide ample scope for practice. • The book offers insight into different optimization transformations. • Summary, at end of each chapter, enables the students to recapitulate the topics easily. TARGET AUDIENCE • BE/B.Tech/M.Tech: CSE/IT • M.Sc (Computer Science)

This book provides the foundation for understanding the theory and pracitce of compilers. Revised and updated, it reflects the current state of compilation. Every chapter has been completely revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published.& The authors, recognizing that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development. Computer scientists, developers, & and aspiring students that want to learn how to build, maintain, and execute a compiler for a major programming language.
