This fully revised second edition of "Design and Construction of Compilers" includes extensive technical updates and new material covering the latest advances in compiler technology. Through detailed treatment of the subject matter, the reader learns important techniques for building a modern compiler. Leading professors and researchers Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon combine fundamental principles with realistic practices drawn from their experience in building state-of-the-art compilers. In this way, they help the reader fully understand important techniques such as compiling imperative and object-oriented languages, constructing forms of static single assignment, instruction scheduling, and graph coloring register allocation.

- Extensive analysis of algorithms and techniques used in the front end of a modern compiler
- Focus on code optimization and code generation, the core areas of modern research and development
- Carefully crafted presentation, including chapter summaries, review questions in various sections, and emphasis on defining new terms
- Examples from various programming languages, such as Java, C, C++, and FORTRAN
