Hi, how does the book compares to the dragon book?
- pca006132 4y agoThey are different. This book is about static analysis which is not discussed in-depth in the dragon book.
- aleclm 4y agoCompiler theory is a wide topic, here the focus is on static analysis, while the Dragon Book is more wide-spectrum. However, I can tell you that this book is so much better than the Muchnick (Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation). The way data-flow analysis is explained in Muchnick sucks, while in POPA it's vertical but once you get over it, everything clicks and you are able to design new analyses in a sound way.
