A handson, examplefilled guide to the theory and practice of writing a C compiler: a computer program that translates code written by programmers into code the computer can read.An approachable, handson tutorial to writing a C compiler: a computer program that translates code written by the programmer into code the computer can understand. By building a compiler, readers will gain invaluable knowledge about how programming languages work; knowledge that will make them better programmers. Readers are gently led stepbystep to build a small working compiler and will develop throughout the book. Writing a C Compiler offers readers an accessible, practical approach to this complex and often overly theoretical topic.
