I spent some serious quality time with the first edition (the "red dragon book"), in three main episodes over the past dozen years: 1) undergraduate compilers class, 2) industry project, and 3) parser generator implementation. This is not an easy text because of its heavy use of mathematical notation and the algorithms are presented only in pseudo code but you will not find a more complete collection of compiler related algorithms than in this book. This is the classical reference book for compiler design. The best for getting the theoretical foundation of compilers
DRAGON BOOK COMPILERS PDF HOW TO
Computer scientists, developers, and aspiring students that want to learn how to build, maintain, and execute a compiler for a major programming language. The authors, recognizing that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development. Every chapter has been completely revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published. Revised and updated, it reflects the current state of compilation. This book provides the foundation for understanding the theory and pracitce of compilers.
