The dragon book is a good general reference, but its a bit dated. The best book on optimization that I've seen is Muchnik: http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Compiler-Design-Implementation-Muchnick/dp/1558603204/sr=8-1/qid=1166545021/ref=sr_1_1/002-2644375-9125607?ie=UTF8&s=books For a discussion of compiling for modern architectures, Allen & Kennedy is good: http://www.amazon.com/Optimizing-Compilers-Modern-Arc...

Hi, As Christmas approaches rapidly I would like to get some suggestions for interesting compiler books, papers and other type of information that one can read the few slow days over Christmas. Any recommendations ? I have the dragon book, but it would be fun to read something on what is happening in modern compilers. /Fred

I'm asking for a stepping stone to figure out how to get some control flow analysis on llvm IR. I need to find out specificially sections of if/else, for loops, and while loop locations in the original source code. I can look at the Cbackend and look there, but would there be any analysis code already written in your library that takes care of that.
