Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools

Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, is known to professors, students, and developers worldwide as the "Dragon Book," .  Every chapter has been revised to reflect developments in software engineering, programming languages, and computer architecture that have occurred since 1986, when the last edition published.  The authors, recognising that few readers will ever go on to construct a compiler, retain their focus on the broader set of problems faced in software design and software development.
