Elements of Compiler Design

Providing both theoretical and practical approaches, Elements of Compiler Design offers a comprehensive introduction to compilers. From a theoretical perspective, this book presents fundamental models underlying compilation and demonstrates the concepts, methods, and techniques based on these models. It also examines the mathematical foundations of the theory of formal languages, automata, and transducers. From a practical point of view, the text describes how various compiler techniques are implemented and features a continuous case study that illustrates the design of a new programming language and construction of a compiler for this language.
