As an starting point, it will be good to create a recursive descent parser (RDP) (let's say you want to create your own flavour of BASIC and build a BASIC interpreter) to understand how to write a compiler. I found the best information in Herbert Schild's C Power Users, chapter 7. This chapter refers to another book of H. Schildt "C The complete Reference" where he explains how to create a calculator (a simple expression parser). I found both books on eBay very cheap. You can check the code for the book if you go to www.osborne.com or check in www.HerbSchildt.com I found the same code but for C# in his latest book

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》。

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。

Not included in the list so far is this book: Basics of Compiler Design (Torben Mogensen) (from the dept. of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen) I'm also interested in learning about compilers and plan to enter that industry in the next couple of years. This book is the ideal theory book to begin learning compilers as far as I can see. It's FREE to copy and reproduce, cleanly and carefully written and gives it to you in plain English without any code but still presents the mechanics by way of instructions and diagrams etc. Worth a look imo.

如果你对为函数式语言(而不是过程式语言)编写编译器感兴趣，Simon Peyton-Jones和David Lester的《实现函数式语言:教程》是一个很好的指南。

函数式计算如何工作的基本概念是通过简单但功能强大的函数式语言“Core”中的示例来指导的。此外，Core语言编译器的每个部分都用Miranda(一种与Haskell非常相似的纯函数式语言)中的代码示例进行了解释。

书中描述了几种不同类型的编译器，但即使你只遵循Core的模板编译器，你也会对函数式编程有一个很好的理解。

《个人电脑编程》作者:Per Brinch Hansen Prentice-Hall 1982 ISBN 0-13-730283-5

这本书名很不幸的书 解释单用户编程环境的设计和创建 用于微电脑，使用一种类似pascal的语言，叫做Edison。作者介绍 一个的逐步实现的所有源代码和解释 爱迪生编译器和简单的支持操作系统，全部写在 爱迪生本身(除了一个小的支持内核写在符号 PDP 11/23汇编程序;完整的源代码也可以为IBM订购 个人电脑)。

这本书最有趣的地方是:1)它的能力 演示如何创建一个完整的，独立的，自我维护的， 有用的编译器和操作系统，以及2)有趣的讨论 语言设计和规范的问题和权衡。

Another light-on-theory heavy-on-pragmatics here's-how-to-code-it book. The author presents the design, implementation, and complete source code for a compiler and p-code interpreter for Pascal- (Pascal "minus"), a Pascal subset with boolean and integer types (but no characters, reals, subranged or enumerated types), constant and variable definitions and array and record types (but no packed, variant, set, pointer, nameless, renamed, or file types), expressions, assignment statements, nested procedure definitions with value and variable parameters, if statements, while statements, and begin-end blocks (but no function definitions, procedural parameters, goto statements and labels, case statements, repeat statements, for statements, and with statements).
