Tools</i>, by Alfred V. Aho, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman
|
||
(Addison-Wesley 1986; ISBN 0-201-10088-6), so called because of the cover
|
||
design featuring a dragon labeled ‘complexity of compiler
|
||
design’ and a knight bearing the lance ‘LALR parser
|
||
generator’ among his other trappings. This one is more specifically
|
||
known as the ‘Red Dragon Book’ (1986); an earlier edition, sans
|
||
Sethi and titled <i class="citetitle">Principles Of Compiler Design</i>
|
||
(Alfred V. Aho and Jeffrey D. Ullman; Addison-Wesley, 1977; ISBN
|
||
0-201-00022-9), was the `‘reen Dragon Book’ (1977). (Also
|
||
<span class="firstterm">New Dragon Book</span>, <span class="firstterm">Old Dragon Book</span>.) The horsed knight and the
|
||
Green Dragon were warily eying each other at a distance; now the knight is
|
||
typing (wearing gauntlets!) at a terminal showing a video-game
|
||
representation of the Red Dragon's head while the rest of the beast extends
|
||
back in normal space.
