This comprehensive textbook covers all aspects of compiler design, spanning lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection through tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-coloring register allocation, and runtime systems. It provides in-depth insights into current techniques in code generation and register allocation, encompassing the compilation of functional and object-oriented languages. The book presents well-established and successful techniques, featuring practical illustrations using actual Java^TM® classes.

The initial section is suitable for a one-semester introductory course in compiler design. The subsequent part, covering the compilation of object-oriented and functional languages, garbage collection, loop optimization, SSA form, instruction scheduling, and optimization for cache-memory hierarchies, is designed for a second-semester or graduate course. This new edition incorporates additional discussion on Java and object-oriented programming concepts, including visitor patterns and a new Mini-Java programming project. A distinctive aspect is the newly redesigned compiler project in Java, focusing on a subset of Java itself, encompassing both front-end and back-end phases.
