Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools[1] is a famous computer science textbook by Alfred V. Aho, Monica S. Lam, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman about compiler construction. Although more than two decades have passed since the publication of the first edition, it is widely regarded as the classic definitive compiler technology text.[2]

It is affectionately known as the Dragon Book to a generation of computer scientists [3][4] and its covers depict a knight and a dragon in battle, a metaphor for conquering complexity. This name can also refer to Aho and Ullman's older Principles of Compiler Design.

Contents

First edition

The first edition is informally called the 'red dragon book' to distinguish it from the second edition[5] and from Aho & Ullman’s 1977 Principles of Compiler Design sometimes known as the 'green dragon book' [5] Topics covered in the first edition include:

Second edition

Following in the tradition of its two predecessors, the second edition features a dragon and a knight on its cover, and is informally known as the purple dragon. Monica S. Lam of Stanford University became a co-author with this edition.

The second edition includes several additional topics including

  • directed translation
  • new data flow analyses
  • parallel machines
  • JIT compiling
  • garbage collection
  • new case studies.
