	Compiler-compiler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Compiler Compiler to use that name was written by Tony Brooker in 1960 and was used to create compilers for the Atlas computer at the University of Manchester, including the Atlas Autocode compiler.
		However it was rather different from modern compiler compilers, and today would probably be described as lying somewhere between a highly customisable generic compiler and an extensible-syntax language.
		Compiler Compilers exist in many flavors, including bottom-up rewrite machine generators (see JBurg) used to tile syntax trees according to a rewrite grammar for code generation, and attribute grammar parser generators (see Antlr that can be used for simultaneous type checking, constant propagation, and more during the parsing stage).

	Softpanorama Bookshelf: Compiler Construction
		Compiler construction (see also my page with the collection of links) stopped to be a fl art approximately after publishing of David Gries' book.
		Compilation techniques for features such as if statements, case statements, and various looping constructs are the focus of this chapter.
		Even if you are not a compiler developer and have no intention of becoming one, this knowledge is so fundamental to being a good software developer and intelligent user of compilers that no professional can afford not to have read this book and keep it handy as a reference.

	Compiler
		The compiler is responsible for assigning each register Def to a specific register file/type, and for inserting explicit instructions moving the data between different register files.
		Conservative bounds are used while compiling certain regions of code (e.g., across calls) where complete timing information is not available, which in turn prevent the compiler from carrying out aggressive scheduling techniques, such as scheduling instructions in the shadow of other instructions, in those regions.
		The compiler performs inter-procedural analysis for reducing the calling convention overhead by allowing callee to modify the calling conventions according to the intended usage of the parameters.

	Siber Systems BtYacc: BackTracking Yacc
		Compilers often need to build AST trees such that every node in a tree can relate to the parsed program source it came from.
		It is known that using older versions of gawk may create problems in compilation, because older awks have problems with backslashes at the end of a line.
		The result of compilation should be a single executable called "btyacc" which you can install anywhere you like; it does not require any other files in the distribution to run.

	Free Compiler Construction Tools: Lexers, Parser Generators, Optimizers (thefreecountry.com)
		These compiler construction kits, parser generators, lexical analyzer (analyser) (lexers) generators, code optimzers (optimizer generators), provide the facility where you define your language and allow the compiler creation tools to generate the source code for your software.
		This compiler construction tool purports to provide a uniform framework for language recognition, definition of abstract syntax trees, construction of tree walkers based on pattern recognition, smart traversal, simple unparsing for source to source translation and optimal code selection for microprocessors.
		Berkeley YACC ("Yet Another Compiler Compiler") is a public domain parser generator that is the precursor of the GNU BISON.

	Andrew Birkett’s blog » Blog Archive » Yet another Compiler Compiler
		Compiler writers have a hard job, especially dealing with all the corner cases and edge conditions.
		One of these days, someone using their compiler is going to try to write a program which uses a hellish mixture of overloading, inheritance, template specialization and inline assembly — and they’ll (quite reasonably) expect that the compiler is going to handle it and keep on smiling.
		Some make it almost possible to generate a compiler for the language direct from the specification, eliminating the costly and bug-ridden process of having humans write compilers.

	compiler from FOLDOC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Some compilers output assembly language which is then converted to machine language by a separate assembler.
		A compiler is distinguished from an assembler by the fact that each input statement does not, in general, correspond to a single machine instruction or fixed sequence of instructions.
		A compiler may support such features as automatic allocation of variables, arbitrary arithmetic expressions, control structures such as FOR and WHILE loops, variable scope, input/ouput operations, higher-order functions and portability of source code.

	Student project: Model-driven semantic-oriented compiler compiler
		The project should result in a compiler compiler by deriving parser from the abstract syntax and an abstract to concrete syntax mapping.
		The firsts layers of a compiler are responsible for translating the text into ideas.
		Compiler compilers may automate the implementation of syntax-oriented compilers (see Lex/Yacc, JavaCC or ANTLR).

	Formula Compiler - Compiler Directives
		Compiler directives are special types of instructions for the compiler.
		Instead, they allow you to instruct the compiler to conditionally compiler parts of the code.
		C/C++ compilers have a preprocessor, and these directives are preprocessor directives.

		They are educational tools for visualizing modern compiling techniques which automatically generate demonstration compilers from suitable language descriptions.
		The generated compilers continuously display their internal states and are controlled with the mouse to move back and forth, in single or larger steps, etc. Auxiliary information derived from the language description can be viewed interactively at any time.
		While conventional compilers are fl boxes whose internals are hidden from the user, our tools help to open up the box and have a look at what is going on inside.

	C++ Compilers From Comeau Computing Targeting ANSI/ISO C++ Standard / C and C++ Compiler for Multi-platform Needs
		Comeau C/C++ is a command line driven C and C++ compiler that generates platform specific and C compiler specific C as its object code (the generated C code won't work on another platform, as it is CPU, OS and C compiler specific, and furthermore, it is not standalone).
		It then transparently invokes a particular C compiler that we've specifically ported it to (again, it won't work with one we haven't ported it to -- such porting must be done by Comeau since particulars must be coded into the compiler and library itself).
		Note then that a C compiler is needed only for machine dependent native object code generation (as noted above, it must be a C compiler we've ported it to for a particular CPU and OS).
