You might consider
Patricia Anklam, David Cutler, Roger Heinen, Jr., and M. Donald MacLaren,
"Engineering a Compiler: VAX-11 Code Generation and Optimization"
Digital Press, 1982, ISBN 0-932376-19-3
It's about the DEC VMS PL/1 and C compilers. There are a fair number
of diagrams, but they're usually not essential to understanding the
concepts. The book gives a very clear presentation of the somewhat
ad-hoc, but successful, design and implementation of these compilers.

[It's a classic, but it only describes the code generator. They bought
the PL/I front end from someone else. -John]
