Download or read book A Retargetable C Compiler written by Christopher W. Fraser and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 1995 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings a unique treatment of compiler design to the professional who seeks an in-depth examination of a real-world compiler. Chris Fraser of AT &T Bell Laboratories and David Hanson of Princeton University codeveloped lcc, the retargetable ANSI C compiler that is the focus of this book. They provide complete source code for lcc; a target-independent front end and three target-dependent back ends are packaged as a single program designed to run on three different platforms. Rather than transfer code into a text file, the book and the compiler itself are generated from a single source to ensure accuracy.
