Good, but error-ridden

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.
