Peter Calingaert's "Program Translation Fundamentals" Computer Science Press,
1988 has a chapter on assemblers. ( it is also one of the few works I know
of that discusses the tabu subject of linking and loading)

Although this is true in part, an assembler has to deal with some source-
language constructs that are, thankfully, omitted in higher-level languages.
[I suppose that assemblers also have to deal head-on with issues like
assignment of binary memory addresses that many compilers punt to the
assembler. -John]
