资 源 简 介
This book has been written to support a practically oriented course in programming language
translation for senior undergraduates in Computer Science. More specifically, it is aimed at students
who are probably quite competent in the art of imperative programming (for example, in C++,
Pascal, or Modula-2), but whose mathematics may be a little weak students who require only a
solid introduction to the subject, so as to provide them with insight into areas of language design
and implementation, rather than a deluge of theory which they will probably never use again
students who will enjoy fairly extensive case studies of translators for the sorts of languages with
which they are most familiar students who need to be made aware of compiler writing tools, and to
come to appreciate and know how to use them. It will hopefully also appeal to a certain class of
hobbyist who wishes to know more about how translators work.
