Compiler Design Lecture Notes by Gholamreza Ghassem Sani
This note
covers the following topics: Compiler learning, An Interpreter, Hybrid Compiler, The Many Phases of a Compiler, Front-end,
Back-end division, Lexical Analysis, Lexical Analyzer in Perspective, Chomsky
Hierarchy, Context free grammars, Parse trees, Top-Down Parsing, Transition
Diagrams, Bottom-Up Parsing.
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.

Y.N. Srikant has given a
comprehensive, deep description of compiler design and related subjects; the
book focuses on the detail of the same. It involves, in itself, parsers and
interpreters of JavaScript and Flash, machine code generation, and software
testing; it lays its focus also on the detailed account of advanced topics of
optimization techniques, malicious code detection, and new computer type
designing architectures. It gives insights into compiler-in-the-loop hardware
development, hardware synthesis, VHDL-to-RTL translation, and compiled
simulation. The value of the book is really important because it will serve the
purpose for readers who intend to focus on the theoretical and practical aspects
of developing modern compilers and related technologies.
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.
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.
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.
