Compiler Design Lecture Notes by Gholamreza Ghassem Sani

An Overview of compiler design

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.

compiler construction using flex and bison

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.

Introduction to Compilers and Language Design

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.

Compiler Design by Frank Pfenning

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.

Advanced Compiler Construction by John Cavazos

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.

Compilers Course notes by Mark van den Brand

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.
