如果你想使用功能强大的高级工具，而不是自己构建一切，那么阅读本课程的项目和阅读材料是一个很好的选择。这是一门语言课程，由Java解析器引擎ANTLR的作者编写。你可以从Pragmatic Programmers网站上获得这门课程的PDF版本。

The course goes over the standard compiler compiler stuff that you'd see elsewhere: parsing, types and type checking, polymorphism, symbol tables, and code generation. Pretty much the only thing that isn't covered is optimizations. The final project is a program that compiles a subset of C. Because you use tools like ANTLR and LLVM, it's feasible to write the entire compiler in a single day (I have an existence proof of this, though I do mean ~24 hours). It's heavy on practical engineering using modern tools, a bit lighter on theory.

顺便说一下，LLVM非常棒。在许多情况下，你可能会编译到汇编，你最好编译到LLVM的中间表示。它是更高级别的、跨平台的，LLVM非常擅长从中生成优化的程序集。

我认为这是一个相当模糊的问题;只是因为这个话题涉及的深度。然而，编译器可以被分解成两个独立的部分;上半身和下半身。上半部分通常采用源语言并将其转换为中间表示，下半部分负责特定于平台的代码生成。

尽管如此，解决这个问题的一个简单方法(至少是我们在编译器类中使用的方法)是在上面描述的两部分中构建编译器。具体来说，通过构建上半部分，您将对整个过程有一个很好的了解。

Just doing the top half lets you get the experience of writing the lexical analyzer and the parser and go to generating some "code" (that intermediate representation I mentioned). So it will take your source program and convert it to another representation and do some optimization (if you want), which is the heart of a compiler. The bottom half will then take that intermediate representation and generate the bytes needed to run the program on a specific architecture. For example, the the bottom half will take your intermediate representation and generate a PE executable.

关于这个主题的一些书，我发现特别有用的是编译器原理和技术(或者龙书，因为封面上有可爱的龙)。它有一些很棒的理论，而且肯定以一种非常容易理解的方式涵盖了上下文无关语法。此外，为了构建词法分析器和解析器，您可能会使用*nix工具lex和yacc。而且很无趣的是，这本名为《莱科斯和雅克》的书继承了《龙之书》这部分的内容。

还有一本书还没有推荐，但非常重要，那就是约翰·莱文的《链接器和加载器》。如果您不使用外部汇编程序，则需要一种方法来输出可以链接到最终程序的目标文件。即使您正在使用外部汇编程序，也可能需要了解重定位以及整个程序加载过程如何工作，以制作一个工作工具。这本书收集了很多关于各种系统的这个过程的随机知识，包括Win32和Linux。

Donald Knuth的《计算机编程的艺术》最初是作为编译器编写的教程而写的，这让我很惊讶。

当然，Knuth博士对主题深入研究的倾向导致编译器写作教程被扩展到大约9卷，其中只有3卷真正出版了。这是一个关于编程主题的相当完整的阐述，涵盖了关于编写编译器需要了解的所有细节。

我同意龙书的参考;IMO，它是编译器构造的权威指南。准备好接受一些核心理论吧。

If you want a book that is lighter on theory, Game Scripting Mastery might be a better book for you. If you are a total newbie at compiler theory, it provides a gentler introduction. It doesn't cover more practical parsing methods (opting for non-predictive recursive descent without discussing LL or LR parsing), and as I recall, it doesn't even discuss any sort of optimization theory. Plus, instead of compiling to machine code, it compiles to a bytecode that is supposed to run on a VM that you also write.

这仍然是一本不错的读物，尤其是如果你能在亚马逊上以便宜的价格买到的话。如果你只想简单介绍编译器，《Game Scripting Mastery》是个不错的选择。如果你想先玩硬核游戏，那么你应该选择《龙之书》。
