Hi,


my favorites list:


Best read, easy to understand and follow:
Compiler Construction - N. Wirth [PDF (597 KB)]
http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/CBEAll.pdf




somwhat old, but good to read: Gries "Compiler Construction for
digital computers"


And probably the most refreshing one: the Lisp 1.5 manual , it has is
an interpreter and compiler in the appendix. (
http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%201.5%20Programmers%20Manual.pdf/view
).


[Appendix B of the Lisp 1.5 manual (which I happen to have in
convenient 1969 paper form) does have a pseudocode interpreter, but
Appendix D about the compiler just describes how to use it, no
listings. And he wouldn't like the Lisp compiler anyway, since then
he'd have to learn LAP. Gries is a good thought, quite concrete and the
target machine is a thinly disguised S/360. -John]
