#A RETARGETABLE C COMPILER DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION PDF PORTABLE#
A compiler must accept the standard definition of the programming language so that source code will be portable across platforms. Working programmers use compilers every day and count heavily on their correctness and reliability. The compiler is the linchpin of the programmer's toolbox.

Features: discusses the implementation and design tradeoffs made while constructing a real ANSI C compiler, illustrating the interaction between theory and practice covers compiler theory only as needed to understand the implementation of Icc, focusing instead on practical, applied issues encourages a deeper understanding of programming in C, by providing C programmers with a tour of the language from the perspective of compiler authors includes coverage of code generators for the MIPS R3000, SPARC, and Intel 386 and its successors and provides access to the full source code for the Icc compiler, the three back ends, and the code-generator generator, either on disk or via FTP. Structured as a self-study guide that describes the real-world tradeoffs encountered in building a production-quality compiler, A Retargetable C Compiler is also useful to individuals who work in application areas using or creating language-based tools and techniques. And while most books describe toy compilers or focus on isolated pieces of code, the authors have made available the entire source code for a real compiler. The authors' innovative approach - a "literate program" that intermingles the text with the source code - gives a detailed tour of the code that explains the implementation and design decisions reflected in the software. This would be even moreso if only someone would take on the same effort for a tiny compiler targeting C11.This new text examines the design and implementation of Icc, a production-quality, retargetable compiler, designed at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Princeton University for the ANSI C programming language. I didn't expect to enjoy the frontend as much as I did (normally a pretty boring part of many compilers) there were lots of gems of strange C behavior there. LCC is an unusual compiler in many ways, and it was nice seeing discussion of the tradeoffs taken interwoven with the implementation. I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was. I had dipped into this book a few times before, but decided now was a good time to see what the experience was like of reading it cover to cover, both as a book and as a literate program. I didn't expect to enjoy the frontend as much as I did (normally a pretty boring part Somewhere between three and four stars.
