 | Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on
books on compiler design that don't deal as heavily with tool use.
i.e. something geared more towards the hobbyist who wants to learn to
write the entire thing without useing for example Lex and Yacc or
similiar tools. I have Aho Sethi and Ullmans Compilers Principles,
Techniques and Tools. And Ronald Maks "Writing Compilers &
Interpreters, an Applied Aproach" Which I am thoroughly enjoying,
though it is rather old but would like advice on books dealing
specifically with writing the compilers and not relying on any tools
other than the compiler you choose to build it with to begin with.
Thank you in advance for any responce.

I would recommend "Programming Language Processors in Java" by David
Watt and Deryck Brown. They develop an interpretive compiler for a
simple language using plain Java without any tools such as Yacc/Lex.

Last October someone asked a similar question. This is what I posted
to answer the question:
Niklaus Wirth had no problems to introduce his students to compiler
construction with a book of 94 pages:
http://www.inf.ethz.ch/~wirth/books/Compilerbau0/
The book contains the complete source code of a compiler and an
interpreter. Sample programs like this described in detail:
const m=7, n= 85;
var x,y,z,q,r ;
begin
x:=m; y:= n; z:=0;
while y> 0 do
begin
if odd y then z:= z + x;
x:= 2*x; y:= y/ 2;
end;
You can teach this course in 1 semester. Here are some other links to
PL/0 and PASCAL-S:
