[antlr-interest] object oriented compiler implementation

[Edwards, Waverly]

I'll start looking for it.  I haven't been able to find a preview for it.  One of the best things Amazon did is enable previews on books.  It makes life so much easier.  I also looked for it on Google Books.  I haven't found it yet but someone has a preview.

Thanks a bunch,


Waverly

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
