  Compiler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Compilers also exist which translate from one high level language to another, or sometimes to an intermediate language that still needs further processing; these are sometimes known as cascaders.
Building a self-hosting compiler is a bootstrapping problem -- the first such compiler for a language must be compiled either by a compiler written in a different language, or (as in Hart and Levin's Lisp compiler) compiled by running the compiler in an interpreter.
Compilers which are capable of producing both native and foreign binary output may be called either a cross-compiler or a native compiler depending on a specific use, although it would be more correct to classify them as a cross-compilers.

Several experimental compilers were developed in the 1950s, but the FORTRAN team led by John Backus at IBM is generally credited as having introduced the first complete compiler, in 1957.

 Principles of Compiler Design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Principles of Compiler Design, by Alfred V. Aho and Jeffrey D. Ullman, is a classic textbook on compilers for computer programming languages.
It is often called the "dragon book" because its cover depicts a knight and a dragon in battle; the dragon is green, and labeled "Complexity of Compiler Construction", while the knight wields a lance labeled "LALR parser generator".
Principles of Compiler Design is now rather dated, but when it came out in 1977, it was hailed for its practical bent; it included treatments of all compilation phases, with sufficient algorithmic detail that students could build their own small compilers in a semester.

 Compiler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A compiler is a computer program that translates a computer program written in one computer language (called the source language) into a program written in another computer language (called the output or the target language).
However, a compiler from a low level language to a high level one is also possible; this is normally known as a decompiler if it is reconstructing a high level language which (could have) generated the low level language.
While compiler design is a complex task, this approach mitigates the complexity by allowing either the front end or back end to retarget the compiler's source or output language respectively.

A compiler is one of the most vital parts of a computer's system software, translating programs written in a high-level language into low-level commands that the machine can understand and execute.
Most compiler design books focus only on techniques for imperative (or procedural) languages like C or Pascal, whereas Modern Compiler Design also covers compilation techniques for object-oriented, functional, logic and distributed languages.
