Books like A retargetable C compiler by Christopher W. Fraser


This book provides a detailed tour of the design and implementation of Icc, a fully retargetable ANSI C compiler developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Princeton University. It blends theory with hands‑on programming by presenting compiler concepts only as needed to understand Icc’s architecture. Readers gain insight into code generation for MIPS R3000, SPARC, and Intel 386 processors, and can access the complete source code, including the three back‑ends and a code‑generator generator, either on disk or via FTP. Presented as a self‑study guide, the book is valuable for programmers seeking a deeper understanding of C, for compiler designers, and for developers working with language‑based tools.
