Features: The authors of this book, Alfred V. Aho, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman, are world-renowned computer scientists who have made outstanding contributions in many fields of computer science theory, databases, and more. This book is an indispensable classic in the field of compiler design and is widely hailed by computer professionals as the "Dragon Book." It has been extensively used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate compiler principles and technology courses by renowned universities and research institutions around the world (such as Bell Labs, Columbia University, Princeton University, and Stanford University, etc.), and has also had a significant impact on the computer education community in China. The book provides an in-depth discussion of important topics in compiler design, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, syntax-directed analysis, type checking, runtime environments, intermediate code generation, code generation, and code optimization. In the last two chapters, it discusses some programming issues and several compiler examples for implementing compilers, and each chapter provides a wealth of exercises and references. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate compiler principles and technology courses in computer science programs at universities and also as a must-read professional reference for computer technicians. The book begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of compilation, then explains these concepts one by one by building a simple one-pass compiler. This book is a classic textbook for compiler principles courses, and the authors have repeatedly used its content to teach introductory and advanced compiler courses to undergraduates and graduates at Bell Labs, Columbia University, Princeton University, and Stanford University.
