Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime gives software engineers critical information for creating .NET compilers or implementing .NET programming languages. Renowned compiler expert John Gough goes ¿under the hood¿ with CLR, illuminating its key concepts and covering every facet of its architecture and behavior. Gough presents extensive examples, many drawn from C# and Gough¿s own open source Gardens Point Component Pascal compiler.
JOHN GOUGH has been writing compilers for more than 20 years. He is one of the elite group of compiler developers invited by Microsoft to create demonstration compilers for .NET. Gough's Gardens Point Modula-2 compilers were produced for every major computer architecture of the 1990s, and have been widely used worldwide. More recently, he has written compilers for the object-oriented language Component Pascal, targeting the Java Virtual Machine.
