I’ve recently made the lecture notes that I use in the Compiler
Construction course available in a book-like format. You can find the
PDF here: https://homepages.dcc.ufmg.br/~fernando/classes/dcc053/.


The table of contents is also available on that page. These lecture
notes primarily focus on constructing a compiler for a purely
functional subset of SML/NJ. Most chapters include links to supporting
code. However, the full compiler isn’t provided, as I use it as a
project assignment.


In this project, students develop the compiler in 15 steps, starting
with an interpreter for arithmetic expressions and culminating in a
RISC-V code generator for a language with anonymous functions (though
closure conversion isn’t required in the test cases).


Please note that it’s still a work in progress, and feedback is welcome.


Kind regards,


Fernando
