Principles Of Compiler Design

PRINCIPLES OF COMPILER DESIGN

This book describes the concepts and mechanism of compiler design. The goal of this book is to make the students experts in compiler’s working principle, program execution and error detection.This book is modularized on the six phases of the compiler namely lexical analysis, syntax analysis and semantic analysis which comprise the analysis phase and the intermediate code generator, code optimizer and code generator which are used to optimize the coding. Any program efficiency can be provided through our optimization phases when it is translated for source program to target program. To be useful, a textbook on compiler design must be accessible to students without technical backgrounds while still providing substance comprehensive enough to challenge more experienced readers. This text is written with this new mix of students in mind. Students should have some knowledge of intermediate programming, including such topics as system software, operating system and theory of computation.

Compiler Design Using FLEX and YACC

This book is a comprehensive practical guide to the design, development, programming, and construction of compilers. It details the techniques and methods used to implement the different phases of the compiler with the help of FLEX and YACC tools. The topics in the book are systematically arranged to help students understand and write reliable programs in FLEX and YACC. The uses of these tools are amply demonstrated through more than a hundred solved programs to facilitate a thorough understanding of theoretical implementations discussed. KEY FEATURES l Discusses the theory and format of Lex specifications and describes in detail the features and options available in FLEX. l Emphasizes the different YACC programming strategies to check the validity of the input source program. l Includes detailed discussion on construction of different phases of compiler such as Lexical Analyzer, Syntax Analyzer, Type Checker, Intermediate Code Generation, Symbol Table, and Error Recovery. l Discusses the Symbol Table implementation—considered to be the most difficult phase to implement—in an utmost simple manner with examples and illustrations. l Emphasizes Type Checking phase with illustrations. The book is primarily designed as a textbook to serve the needs of B.Tech. students in computer science and engineering as well as those of MCA students for a course in Compiler Design Lab.
