What are some good resources that cover basics and get very specialized? I wouldn't mind reading through some, I just wanna read everything I can but as long as it's relevant to today, I may still get the dragon book though.
* Engineering a Compiler (even this wastes soooo much time on parsing)
* Optimizing Compilers for Modern Architectures
* Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation
I'm not exaggerating or being contrary for the sake of it when I say disregard the Dragon book - we don't build compilers like that any more. It's not even like it teaches you the foundations that are still useful because I think the foundations and what we emphasise as important now have changed so much.
