Book Overview

*Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) Textbook Excellence Award Winner, 2024*

Engineering a Compiler, Third Edition covers the latest developments in compiler technology, with new chapters focusing on semantic elaboration (the problems that arise in generating code from the ad-hoc syntax-directed translation schemes in a generated parser), on runtime support for naming and addressability, and on code shape for expressions, assignments and control-structures. Leading educators and researchers, Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon, have revised this popular text with a fresh approach to learning important techniques for constructing a modern compiler, combining basic principles with pragmatic insights from their own experience building state-of-the-art compilers.

Customer Reviews

The book was in great shape. Few scribblings here and there but no less readable than brand new ones

As this isn’t the most recent edition, it has some mistakes which I believe the authors have corrected in the later edition(s). I’m learning on my own and I think it’s detailed explanations are quite helpful.
