Features: This book combines a detailed study of modern compiler design theory and provides a complete description of a small-scale, runnable language compiler (including source code). The book reflects the author's views that without mastering the theory, one cannot truly understand practical compiler design; and for university students, without seeing the application of theory in practice, they cannot truly understand the theory. The concepts discussed in this book are unified into a complete, runnable compiler that uses the techniques discussed in each chapter for development, written in C language. Each chapter includes numerous exercises to focus students' attention on programming problems.
