LaTeX sources for two open textbooks on compiler construction, covering compilation of Racket and Python subsets to x86-64 assembly. Used as course material at multiple universities with accompanying student support code.
Use cases
- learn how to write a compiler
- compile Python to x86-64 assembly
- compiler course textbook
- understand register allocation and code generation
- teach a university compilers class
- study how Racket compiles to machine code
When to choose
- learning compiler fundamentals from scratch
- instructors seeking ready-made course material with support code
- readers who want a hands-on, incremental compiler-building approach
When to avoid
- looking for a production compiler toolchain
- needing coverage of advanced optimizations or LLVM
- wanting a licensed open-source software artifact (no license is provided)
