Features: Compiler Principles is an important professional course in computer science. Although only a small number of people work in the field of compilers, this course provides students with systematic and effective training in theory, technology, and methods, which is beneficial for improving the quality and ability of software professionals. To discuss the main content of compilers in a limited space, this book describes these contents in a concise manner. When learning compiler principles, readers should strive to construct a virtual machine in their minds, where all aspects of the compilation process can operate within the virtual machine. Completing the exercises at the end of each chapter is beneficial for understanding the content involved. Constructing a compiler for a specific virtual language (such as PL/0) is extremely important for mastering compiler technology. Compiler Principles is an important professional course in computer science, and this book aims to introduce the general principles and basic methods of constructing compilers. The content includes language and grammar, lexical analysis, syntax analysis, syntax-directed translation, intermediate code generation, storage management, code optimization, and target code generation. This book systematically introduces classic and widely used technologies, with a particular focus on the automatic generation of lexical analyzers and syntax analyzers, as well as syntax-directed translation methods and code optimization based on control flow analysis and data flow analysis. It also briefly introduces attribute grammars and parallel compilation. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, including those requiring the implementation of corresponding analyzers, translators, optimizers, and code generators using C language. This book can be used as a textbook for computer science majors in universities and colleges, as well as a reference for teachers, graduate students, and software technicians.
