[antlr-interest] object oriented compiler implementation

[Ranco Marcus]

Hello Waverly,

You may find "Compiler Design" by Renhard Wilhelm and Dieter Maurer helpful. It explains the basics of compiler design with separate chapters for imperative, functional, logic and object-oriented languages.

See http://www.amazon.com/Compiler-Design-International-Computer-Science/dp/0201422905

Best regards,
