    Compiler Construction-Computer Science

In Object-Oriented Compiler Construction, Holmes details the concepts and methods used to construct interpreters and compilers, namely a Pascal compiler. He also covers Object-Oriented analysis, design and coding techniques while illustrating the use of C++ as an implementation language/environment for the construction of interpreters and compilers.




guides students through the complete construction of a Pascal compiler, giving students the following advantages:

• familiarity—most students will know the language.
• simplicity—the language is small enough to allow the construction of a complete compiler in a text of manageable size.
• nontriviality—Pascal contains many of the important and interesting constructs faced by modern compiler writers.

spends time covering the standard compiler components that may or may not benefit from Object-Oriented design activity—why they work, how to build them, how to install them in an Object-Oriented system.
offers an appendix containing a brief, functional overview of the C++ language and describing the specific features that are used most often in the construction of the Pascal compiler.
