Hi, Unfortunately there seems to be a bit of a dearth of books when it comes to compiler optimizations and backend things, especially when it comes to SSA -- which is the most interesting part! I would skip the dragon book unless you're interested in the front-end things (parsing, symbol tables, etc.); I haven't read a lot of it myself, but apparently the latest edition only has a passing mention of SSA and others don't mention it at all. GCC has a list of books: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ListOfCompilerBooks and apparently some of them are better in that regard. Personally, I learned about a lot of this stuff through papers. I have a list of them here: http://cwabbottdev.blogspot.com/2013/06/compiler-theory-links.html although it may be a little out of date, and some of the things might have been more useful back when I was working on lima. Suggestions for adding to the list are very welcome. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
