Compiler Construction

176 pages
Abstract
A refreshing antidote to heavy theoretical tomes, this book is a
concise, practical guide to modern compiler design and construction by an
acknowledged master. Readers are taken step-by-step through each stage
of compiler design, using the simple yet powerful method of recursive
descent to create a compiler for Oberon-0, a subset of the author's
Oberon
language.
A disk provided with the book gives full listings of the Oberon-0 compiler
and associated tools.
The hands-on, pragmatic approach makes the book equally attractive for
project-oriented courses in compiler design and for software engineers
whishing to develop their skills in system software.
