Hi,


I just read the dragon book for the first time and I'm very impressed
by the quality of this book. But it's quite old, isn't it? Sure, most
of the content is probably "ever-green" but there have probably been
some minor breakthroughs in compiler technology the past decade -
especially in the area of optimization. Are there any good
complementary books that details these advances? Are there any new
Dragons on the way?

Thanks,

better. -John]
