Requirements: .ePUB reader, 19.8 MB
Overview: Compilers are at the heart of everything programmers do, yet even experienced developers find them intimidating. For those eager to truly grasp how compilers work, Writing a C Compiler dispels the mystery. This book guides you through a fun and engaging project where you’ll learn what it takes to compile a real-world programming language to actual assembly code. Writing a C Compiler will take you step by step through the process of building your own compiler for a significant subset of C—no prior experience with compiler construction or assembly code needed. Once you’ve built a working compiler for the simplest C program, you’ll add new features chapter by chapter. The algorithms in the book are all in pseudocode, so you can implement your compiler in whatever language you like. Compilers aren’t terrifying beasts—and with help from this hands-on, accessible guide, you might even turn them into your friends for life. I wrote this book for programmers who are curious about how compilers work. Many books about compiler construction are written as textbooks for college or graduate-level classes, but this one is meant to be accessible to someone exploring the topic on their own. You won’t need any prior knowledge of compilers, interpreters, or assembly code to complete this project. A basic understanding of computer architecture is helpful, but not essential; I’ll discuss important concepts as they come up and occasionally point you to outside resources with more background information. That said, this is not a book for novice programmers. You should be comfortable writing substantive programs on your own, and you should be familiar with binary numbers, regular expressions, and basic data structures like graphs and trees. You’ll need to know C well enough to read and understand small C programs, but you don’t need to be an expert C programmer. We’ll explore the ins and outs of the language as we go.
