Introduction to Compiler Construction in a Java World

Acknowledgments

We wish to thank students in CS451 and CS651, the compilers course at the University

of Massachusetts, Boston, for their feedback on, and corrections to, the text, the example

compiler, and the exercises. We would like to thank Kelechi Dike, Ricardo Menard, and Mini

Nair for writing a compiler for a subset of C# that was similar to j--. We would particularly

like to thank Alex Valtchev for his work on both liveness intervals and linear scan register

allocation.

We wish to acknowledge and thank both Christian Wimmer for our extensive use of his

algorithms in his masters thesis on linear scan [Wimmer, 2004] and James Larus for our use ...
