Basics of Compiler Design by Torben Egidius Mogensen
Authored by Torben Egidius Mogensen from the
University of Copenhagen, this lengthy document is an excellent introduction to
compiler design. Beginning with basic concepts of lexical and syntax analysis,
it goes through the advanced themes that include scopes, symbol tables, and
interpretation. Further, type checking, intermediate code generation, and
machine code generation are explained in detail, making the whole process of
compilation familiar to the reader. It covers key topics such as register
allocation, function calls, memory management, analysis, and optimization, and
even bootstrapping a compiler. This text will be very useful to anyone who wants
to research both theoretical and practical problems concerned with compiler
construction.

These lecture notes are based on structured approaches toward
understanding compiler design, provided by the Kavery Educational Institutions.
The paper presents the core issues of lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and
runtime environments that, together, form the bedrock of more advanced topics
in-depth. It goes on to explain intermediate code generation, one of the main
steps in source-to-source translation from high-level source code to target
machine code. Moreover, it will also cover the most important topics in code
generation and optimization techniques, thus helping readers see how—through
practical points—compilers transform and optimize source code. These lecture
notes are ideal for any student who is interested in the comprehensive idea of
design principles and practices concerning compilers, which are developed with a
proper blend of theoretical foundations of practice.
These notes by Avinav Pathak from Shobhit
Institute of Engineering and Technology, Meerut, give a crisp, comprehensive
overview of compiler design. It covers the role of the compiler and translator.
Detailed lexical analysis is done, along with the implementation of a lexical
analyzer. Basic parsing techniques and syntax analyzer generators have been
dealt with, along with runtime memory management and error detection and
recovery strategies. The topics of code optimization and code generation are
well covered in these notes, too. This will be useful for students and
professionals who want an accessible lead-in to compiler design and its main
elements.

Prof. Douglas Thain's course introduction covers the fundamentals of
compiler and language design. This book starts with a quick tour of compiler
concepts, then proceeds into careful sections on scanning and parsing, practical
parsing techniques, generation of abstract syntax trees, semantic analysis, and
intermediate representations. Moreover, it demonstrates the memory organization,
assembly language, code generation, and optimization. Any student who requires a
detailed view of both theory and practice in compiler design will find this
resource helpful.

Mrs.
G. Indiravathi's lecture notes focus on the principles of compiler design. These
lecture notes deal with major concepts related to language processing systems,
top-down parsing, and generation of intermediate code. There is a discussion of
runtime environments and how compilers conduct execution and memory within the
ambit of a program. Students will find these notes very useful, which enable an
overview of compiler design and its constituents in detail through
practice-oriented explanation and examples.
Frank Pfenning's online
resource deals with the design and implementation of compiler and runtime
systems for high-level languages. It covers the interactions between language
design, compiler design, and runtime organization. Key topics include lexical
and syntactic analysis, type-checking, program analysis, code generation, and
optimization. It is useful to anyone interested in learning about the whole
process of compiler development and how various parts of a programming language
implementation interact.
Online notes by
John Cavazos cover advanced topics in compiler construction. It provides a
survey of some basic theory and practice in implementing modern programming
languages, starting from lexical analysis to parsing techniques—the top-down and
bottom-up—with table construction. Then, procedure abstraction, code shape, and
register allocation follow. This resource is an ideal one for a person willing
to get deeper into the intricacies of compiler construction and various
optimization techniques.
