Compiler Construction by Gerhard Goos and William M. Waite
Compiler Construction, a modern text written by two leaders in the in the field, demonstrates how a compiler is built. Describing the necessary tools and how to create and use them, the authors compose the task into modules, placing equal emphasis on the action and data aspects of compilation. Attribute grammars are used extensively to provide a uniform treatment ofsemantic analysis, competent code generation and assembly. The authors also explain how intermediate representations can be chosen automatically on the basis of attribute dependence. Thus, all aspects of the sub ject are presented in terms of a uniform model sub ject to automation. This approach imparts a vivid understanding of the compilation and the decisions that must be made when designing a compiler.

Principles of Compiler Design Lecture Notes
These lecture notes are based on structured approaches toward understanding compiler design, provided by the Kavery Educational Institutions. The paper presents the core issues of lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and runtime environments that, together, form the bedrock of more advanced topics in-depth. It goes on to explain intermediate code generation, one of the main steps in source-to-source translation from high-level source code to target machine code. Moreover, it will also cover the most important topics in code generation and optimization techniques, thus helping readers see how—through practical points—compilers transform and optimize source code. These lecture notes are ideal for any student who is interested in the comprehensive idea of design principles and practices concerning compilers, which are developed with a proper blend of theoretical foundations of practice.

compiler construction using flex and bison
The guide by Anthony A. Aaby deals in detail with compilation using Flex and Bison. Starting from some basic ideas about the parser and scanner, it moves to an implementation of a simple compiler. In its subtopics, it contains design of the parser, implementation of the scanner, symbol table, and code generation. This document also handles optimization techniques, virtual machines, and peephole optimization. It provides practical advice on how to use Yacc or Bison, including debugging tips and the different stages in developing a parser. As such, this is an indispensable resource to someone looking to understand the hands-on aspects of compiler construction using these very widely used tools.

Introduction to Compilers and Language Design
Prof. Douglas Thain's course introduction covers the fundamentals of compiler and language design. This book starts with a quick tour of compiler concepts, then proceeds into careful sections on scanning and parsing, practical parsing techniques, generation of abstract syntax trees, semantic analysis, and intermediate representations. Moreover, it demonstrates the memory organization, assembly language, code generation, and optimization. Any student who requires a detailed view of both theory and practice in compiler design will find this resource helpful.

Compiler Design by Frank Pfenning
Frank Pfenning's online resource deals with the design and implementation of compiler and runtime systems for high-level languages. It covers the interactions between language design, compiler design, and runtime organization. Key topics include lexical and syntactic analysis, type-checking, program analysis, code generation, and optimization. It is useful to anyone interested in learning about the whole process of compiler development and how various parts of a programming language implementation interact.

These course notes from the University of Wales Swansea provide an introduction to compiler design, focusing on formal language theory. It covers lexical and syntax analysis, parsing, symbol tables, and semantic analysis. The course includes practices in using tools like Javacc and the Tiny machine simulator to get practical experience in compiler construction. It will, therefore, be very resourceful to students and practitioners seeking to develop basic knowledge on compiler design and its application in the recognition and processing of programming languages.

Advanced Compiler Construction by John Cavazos
Online notes by John Cavazos cover advanced topics in compiler construction. It provides a survey of some basic theory and practice in implementing modern programming languages, starting from lexical analysis to parsing techniques—the top-down and bottom-up—with table construction. Then, procedure abstraction, code shape, and register allocation follow. This resource is an ideal one for a person willing to get deeper into the intricacies of compiler construction and various optimization techniques.
