About the Book

This book provides information about language processors and introduces you to design and implementation of various types of software, such as
assemblers, macros, loaders, and linkers. Apart from these, you will also learn about compilers, aspects of compilation, memory allocation, compilation
of expression and control structure, code optimization, and interpreters.

In this book, you will learn about

System Software: Concept, various system programs, software hierarchy, machine structure, address space, computer languages, life cycle of a source
program
Language Processors: Programming languages and language processors, symbol tables, search data structures and allocation data structures
Assemblers: Elements of assembly language programming, assembler design criteria, different types of assemblers such as onepass and two-pass assemblers
Macro Processors: Importance of macros and macro processors in program generation, advanced macro facilities, design of macro assembler, and functions
of a macro processor
Linkers and Loaders: Concept of relocation of linking, designer of linker, self-relocating programs, linking in MS-DOS, linking of overlay structured programs,
dynamic linking, absolute and relocating loaders
Scanning and Parsing: Programming language grammars, classification of grammar, ambiguity in grammatical specification, scanning and parsing, different
types of parsing such as top-down and bottom-up parsing
Compilers: Causes of large semantic gap, memory allocation, compilation of expression, compilation of control structure and code optimization
Interpreters and Debuggers: Overview and benefits of interpretation, Java language environment, Java virtual machine, debugging procedures and
classification of debuggers
