    C Compiler in Linux

    Hello Friends,

    I am looking to design a C compiler in Linux.

    Could any one please guide me of good websites, Scientific journals or papers for Compiler design?.

    If the Compiler design is in a new programming language also, I will be useful.

    Thanking you,
    Saurav Bhasin

    Someone here (brewbuck) recommended this to me as "the standard reference on writing compilers" which seems to be a general opinion:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_...puter_science)

    There is a new edition, 2007, which I got from Amazon for about $45 (look for the "international version", it's cheaper). It is a very very good book IMO altho I have only read <20% of it. Be warned, it is not for the faint of heart -- but if you cannot use it to write a compiler, start to finish, then nothing will help. There is substantial material on using Lex & Yacc, as bithub refers to.

    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
