Practical Compiler Construction

Study the heavily annotated source code of a full compiler for a subset of the C programming language generating code for Linux on the popular x86_64 processor. Learn about the practice of lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, and code generation. Finally, have a look at more advanced compilation techniques such as code synthesis, abstract program optimization, peephole optimization, and common subexpression elimination. This is an advanced programming textbook and a compiler-writing primer. Some programming skills are required, but no prior knowledge in the field of compiler construction is necessary.
