The Design of an Optimizing Compiler
1980 computer science book From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Design of an Optimizing Compiler (Elsevier Science Ltd, 1980, ISBN 0-444-00158-1), by William Wulf, Richard K. Johnson, Charles B. Weinstock, Steven O. Hobbs, and Charles M. Geschke, was published in 1975 by Elsevier. It describes the BLISS optimizing compiler for the PDP-11, written at Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1970s. The compiler ran on a PDP-10 and was one of the first to produce well-optimized code for a minicomputer. Because of its elegant design and the quality of the generated code, the compiler and book remain classics in the compiler field.
