Purchase options and add-ons

This textbook describes all phases of a compiler: lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection via tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-coloring register allocation, and runtime systems. It includes thorough coverage of current techniques in code generation and register allocation, and the compilation of functional and object-oriented languages. The most accepted and successful techniques are described and illustrated with actual Java^TM® classes. The first part is suitable for a one-semester first course in compiler design. The second part; which includes the compilation of object-oriented and functional languages, garbage collection, loop optimization, SSA form, instruction scheduling, and optimization for cache-memory hierarchies; can be used for a second-semester or graduate course. This new edition includes more discussion of Java and object-oriented programming concepts such as visitor patterns plus a new Mini-Java programming project. A unique feature is the newly redesigned compiler project in Java for a subset of Java itself. The project includes both front-end and back-end phases.

this book does accomplish the task of introducing the complier concepts using java, but i still feel like the dragon book is a nice universal book that can be used for all compiler concepts

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to compilers!
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2012
It's a very light, easy-to-read introduction to compiler implementation in Java. What more can I say?

It follows through lexical analysis, semantic analysis, type systems, and all the usual stuff, only complete with Java source code to guide you through.

I do recommend this if you're looking to learn more about the world of compilers, it seems the most clear of all the versions (C or ML).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite book
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2002
It's so sad that the rating of this book is this bad since I love this book so much. This book might have some weaknesses but I believe that this book is well worth getting. As far as I know, there're few compiler *textbooks*, other than this, that tells how to implement various modern PL concepts. As one guy said, the parsing algorithm stuffs are not any more an essential part of compiler course and modern compiler implementation should focus on how to implement modern programming concepts. After all, compiler is a *language* processor, *language* provides us *abtractions*, and we should focus mostly on how to implement those abstraction mechanisms in a compiler course, I believe. I agree that this book alone may not be sufficient for a complete introduction to the compiler writing (Dragon book and Muchnick's could be used together) but this book surely has its own benefits.
I think there's a subtle difference between the viewpoints of the PL guys and compiler guys. E.g. compiler guys might be interested in how to speep things up and PL guys might be interested in how to invent a new abstraction mechanism and implement it. I believe this is the best textbook, known to me, with the latter viewpoint.
Postscript to the guy who said Prof. Appel does not know OOP:
This book uses the Interpreter pattern where Interpreter pattern is just an oo-counterpart of the recursive data type definition in functional programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference!
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 1997
I helped debug this book in Appel's Compilers Class at Princeton University, and I strongly recommend it. Appel has scoured the literature to summarize every compiler trick out there, presenting the algorithms concisely and clearly. If you've ever tried to read a compiler paper directly, mathematical notation and all, you'll appreciate this! This book may not replace the infamous "dragon book" -- but it's a whole lot easier to code from.

5.0 out of 5 stars 近代的でコンサイスなコンパイラの本
Reviewed in Japan on April 24, 2002
Verified Purchase
まだちゃんとは読んでいないのですが、Java時代のコンパイラの入門書で、従来のコンパイラの教科書よりもだいぶ新しい話題を扱っています。
往年のコンパイラ開発ツールの黄金コンビ、Lex & Yacc のJava版が登場するほか、ランタイムの技術としてガベージコレクションの説明などもあります。
JDKには便利な抽象データ型がたくさんあるので、Javaはコンパイラを書くには最高にらくちんな言語だと思います。
時間をみつけて、ちゃんと読んでみたい！
