Which is the best book for compiler design then?
1 comments

I haven't read all of them. But I liked "Modern Compiler Design" (http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Compiler-Design-D-Grune/dp/0471...).

If you have a functional bend, Simon Peyton Jones' book (https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/Paper...) is worth reading, too. His book, however, is not a complete treatment. It assumes you know e.g. how to write a parser, and concentrates on the challenges unique to lazy functional languages.
