From reviews of the first edition... 'One of the first compiler texts that presents, at an undergraduate level, developments from the mid-1980's onward ... This breakdown of topics is a good reflection of where a compiler writer's time actually goes.' Dr. Dobb's Journal 'Serves its intended purpose as a classroom textbook, fitting comfortably and usefully between cookbooks and encyclopedias on compilation ... also suitable for self-study.' Computing Reviews '... I recommend this book as a textbook for both beginning and advanced compiler courses ... a well-written book, which strictly adheres to a no-nonsense style, and therefore is a pleasure to read.'
