This entirely updated second edition of Engineering a Compiler is full of technical
updates and new material covering the latest developments in compiler technology.
In this comprehensive text, students will learn important techniques for constructing
a modern compiler.
The authors, Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon, leading educators and researchers,
have built several state-of-the-art compilers. They combine basic principles with
pragmatic insights from their experience to help explain important techniques such
as compilation of imperative and object-oriented languages, construction of static
single-assignment form, instruction scheduling, and graph-coloring register allocation.
Key Features
In-depth treatment of algorithms and techniques used in the front end of a modern
compiler
Focus on code optimization and code generation, the primary areas of recent research
and development
Improvements in presentation including conceptual overviews for each chapter,
summaries and review questions for sections, and prominent placement of definitions
for new terms
Examples drawn from several different programming languages
This book is written for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer
science. It.s also a great reference for professional compiler writers, system
software developers, architects and computer system designers.
