Re: textbooks and University Degrees in Compiler Design.

  PTY> I think the "Compilers - Principles, Techniques, and Tools" (The Dragon
  PTY> Book) is used by many schools. We use it at UC Davis and I found that it
  PTY> indeed a good book. However, it lacks discussions on newer topics like

  For a detailed explanation of the compilation of imperative,
  o-o, logic and functional families of PL, you should check:


   Wilhelm, Maurer "Compiler Design"
   Addison-Wesley
   ISBN: 0-201-42290-5


  To me this seems a rather good book, formal and rigorous
  in every step of the exposition. A perfect companion of
  Muchnick's "Advanced Compiler Design & Implementation".
