Building Software Interpreters
"Building Software Interpreters" "Building Software Interpreters" is a comprehensive, authoritative guide to the design and implementation of modern interpreters for programming languages. Beginning with a thorough exploration of historical foundations and the key design tradeoffs between interpreters and compilers, this book delves into the fundamental architectural choices that shape how languages are executed. Readers will gain a deep understanding of interpreter classifications, requirements gathering, and how language features are influenced by execution architecture, establishing a solid conceptual base for both newcomers and seasoned developers. This text presents a detailed, step-by-step journey through the vital components of interpreter construction. Topics such as lexical analysis, parsing, semantic analysis, and the development of robust abstract syntax trees are covered with practical insights and real-world examples. The discussion encompasses both hand-crafted and tool-based approaches to lexers and parsers, highlights error recovery strategies, and guides readers through symbol management, type systems, and advanced language features. Execution models—including tree-walkers, bytecode engines, and virtual machine architectures—are dissected with clarity, while chapters on memory management, runtime support, and extensibility provide actionable techniques for building efficient, maintainable software. Advanced topics extend the text’s relevance to the forefront of language implementation: meta-programming, debugging support, REPLs, sandboxing, concurrency, parallelism, distributed execution, and performance engineering are treated in depth. By weaving together theoretical rigor with hands-on engineering advice, "Building Software Interpreters" empowers readers to create interpreters that are not only correct and performant, but also secure, extensible, and ready for the demands of contemporary software development. This book stands as an essential reference for anyone interested in the science and practice of programming language interpretation.
Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler
All software developers use languages, which are the fundamental tool of the trade. Despite curiosity about how languages work, few developers actually understand how. Unfortunately, most texts on language and compiler development are hard to digest, written from academic platforms for use in college-level computer science programs. On the other hand, Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler demystifies compiler and language development, and makes the subjects palatable for all programmers. This practical book presents techniques that you can apply to everyday work. You'll learn to add scripts and macro languages to your applications, add runtime expression evaluation to their applications, and generate code immediately. Further, you will learn parsing techniques, which are essential to extract information from any structured form of datalike text files, user input, XML, or HTML. As a bonus, the book includes a complete QuickBasic compatible compiler with source code that works. The compiler illustrates the books techniques and acts as a versatile .NET language.
Writing Compilers and Interpreters
Long-awaited revision to a unique guide that covers both compilers and interpreters Revised, updated, and now focusing on Java instead of C++, this long-awaited, latest edition of this popular book teaches programmers and software engineering students how to write compilers and interpreters using Java. You?ll write compilers and interpreters as case studies, generating general assembly code for a Java Virtual Machine that takes advantage of the Java Collections Framework to shorten and simplify the code. In addition, coverage includes Java Collections Framework, UML modeling, object-oriented programming with design patterns, working with XML intermediate code, and more.
