Publisher Comments:

A compiler is one of the most vital parts of a computers system software, translating programs written in a high-level language into low-level commands that the machine can understand and execute. Most compiler design books focus only on techniques for imperative (or procedural) languages like C or Pascal, whereas Modern Compiler Design also covers compilation techniques for object-oriented, functional, logic and distributed languages. Features of the book include:
  • A focus on essential traditional and advanced techniques common to all language paradigms, giving readers the skills required for modern compiler construction.
  • Coverage of all the major programming language types - imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic and distributed languages.
  • A practical emphasis on implementation and optimization techniques, including tools for automating compiler design.
  • A strong intuitive style, illustrated by many practical examples.
All the authors are experienced teachers and researchers in programming languages and their implementation and have acquired a wealth of experience in compiler construction for a variety of languages. This experience has also been reflected in previous texts on Programming Languages, Programming Distributed Systems and Parsing Techniques.

Book News Annotation:

Covers compilation techniques for imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, and distributed languages. Emphasis is on implementation and optimization techniques, including tools for automating compiler design. Early chapters are concerned with techniques for programming processes in general, and include discussion of memory management, both in the compiler and in the generated code. Later chapters cover specific techniques required by various programing paradigms. Includes chapter summaries and exercises. Grune is affiliated with Vrije University, Amsterdam.

Review:

"There's nothing this programmer likes more in a book than a structured, logical layout, and Modern Compiler Design has it by the bucketful. [...] this excellent book covers not just procedural languages, but object-oriented, functional, logic and parallel/distributed languages too. [...] a well-written and thorough book [...] recommended for the compiler novice." - David Johns in Application Development Advisor, Nov/Dec 2000

Synopsis:

A compiler translates high-level language into low-level commands that the machine can understand and execute. This book covers compilation techniques for object-oriented, functional, logic and distributed languages.

Synopsis:

Der Compiler ist ein Herzstück der Systemsoftware: Er übersetzt aus einer Hochsprache wie C oder Pascal in die Sprache des Prozessors. Wie man einen Compiler 'baut', erklärt dieses Lehrbuch für fortgeschrittene Studenten. Dabei wird weniger auf Spezialfälle als auf grundlegende Techniken und Konzepte Wert gelegt; Schwerpunkte bilden Verfahren der Implementation und der Optimierung. Die Kunst des Compilerbaus - praxisnah, aus erster Hand! (11/99)

Synopsis:

While focusing on the essential techniques common to all language paradigms, this book provides readers with the skills required for modern compiler construction. All the major programming types (imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, and distributed) are covered. Practical emphasis is placed on implementation and optimization techniques, which includes tools for automating compiler design.
