Compiler text now available on-line

I have just completed the first "official" release of the on-line edition of


      Compilers and Compiler Generators


a text first published by International Thomson in 1997
and now, with the demise of ITCP, out of print. The book
is aimed at a senior undergraduate market, covering (in particular)
recursive descent parsing and the construction of hand-crafted and
compiler-generated compilers for stack machines. It also discusses the
use of the parser generator Coco/R in detail. The case studies are presented
in C++ but compatible source code is supplied for Pascal and Modula-2
versions as well.

There you will find the text in HTML form, links to compressed files that
can be downloaded to obtain all the HTML pages to create a local copy,
as well as to files that should allow you to print yourself a
copy on A4 paper on a LaserJet compatible printer and to sites
where you can obtain all the source code.
