Overview
This book is intended for readers who have a good foundation in writing code in some high level language (C++ or Java would be fine). The goal is to introduce compiler and interpreter concepts and implement various languages within the four parts of the text.
- Part I focuses on assembly language and builds an interpreter for KCODE
code for the interpreter is implemented using C
- Part II focuses on introducing procedural languages and builds a compiler for CALC
code for the compiler is implemented using the Icon Programming Language (Unicon)
- Part III builds on Part II to elaborate on specific topics within compiler construction and builds a compile for KIZE
Icon Programming Language
- Part IV focuses on functional programming and ultimately builds an interpreter for SKEME
Icon Programming Language
The reader may implement his or his own version of the interpreters/compilers. The book attempts to walk them through the various steps and share the author's experiences. The readers are free to choose a high level language for their own use. But I highly recommend a language with a straight-forward syntax and powerful string manipulation tools. That is my reason for my personal choice of Icon for the majority of the book.
