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.

The guide by Anthony A. Aaby deals in
detail with compilation using Flex and Bison. Starting from some basic ideas
about the parser and scanner, it moves to an implementation of a simple
compiler. In its subtopics, it contains design of the parser, implementation of
the scanner, symbol table, and code generation. This document also handles
optimization techniques, virtual machines, and peephole optimization. It
provides practical advice on how to use Yacc or Bison, including debugging tips
and the different stages in developing a parser. As such, this is an
indispensable resource to someone looking to understand the hands-on aspects of
compiler construction using these very widely used tools.
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.
These course notes from the
University of Wales Swansea provide an introduction to compiler design, focusing
on formal language theory. It covers lexical and syntax analysis, parsing,
symbol tables, and semantic analysis. The course includes practices in using
tools like Javacc and the Tiny machine simulator to get practical experience in
compiler construction. It will, therefore, be very resourceful to students and
practitioners seeking to develop basic knowledge on compiler design and its
application in the recognition and processing of programming languages.
Mark van den
Brand's course notes provide a very topical and elaborate exposition to the
design of compilers. The topics covered range from compilation processes through
lexical and syntax analysis to the different parsing techniques, including
top-down and bottom-up parsers. It also treated tools like Lex and Javacc,
Symbol tables, and Semantic Analysis. This resource has a place in the process
of acquiring a deep understanding of compiler construction, from basic
principles to practical applications.
