There are plenty of freely available books, lecture notes, and even open online courses about compiler design too. Many will use more mainstream languages. Others will use languages that are a better fit for compiler writing. If you just want to make a basic compiler for a simple language, then probably any resource (including this one) will suffice, though some are better written than others. If you care about optimizing for modern hardware, or common modern features like garbage collection, concurrency, and reflection, you'll need recent resources. | |

| Dec 16, 2017 at 23:54 | comment | added | Derek Elkins left SE | You may want to consider using a more modern reference. This is an overly concrete and low-level (description of a) representation of a symbol table. Conceptually, a symbol table is a mapping from the symbols to information about those symbols and so nowadays you'd likely just use a standard hash table or "dictionary" type. There's little point in worrying about how exactly these are represented for the purposes of building a compiler. | |
