I am currently reading through Engineering a Compiler because I heard that The Dragon Book is outdated and doesn't cover many things. However, some sources tell me that The Dragon Book is still good even though it has aged. What does /prog/ think?
I'm only in chapter 3 but finding it interesting so far, but I'm getting tired of the mathematical symbols used to describe everything without any clarification for someone who doesn't hasn't spent a good amount of time studying Set Theory.
In a regular grammar, however, productions in P are restricted to one of two forms: α→a, or α→aβ, where α, β ∈ NT and a ∈ T.
Gee, thanks.
Also, are there any other books on compiler design that are decent?
