See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Books about Lisp implementation include: 1. John Allen "Anatomy of Lisp" McGraw-Hill, 1978. 446 pages. ISBN 0-07-001115-X Discusses some of the fundamental issues involved in the implemention of Lisp. 2. Samuel Kamin "Programming Languages, An Interpreter-Based Approach" Addison-Wesley, Reading, Mass., 1990. ISBN 0-201-06824-9 Includes sources to several interpreters for Lisp-like languages. The source for the interpreters in the book is available by anonymous FTP from ftp://a.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/kamin/kamin.distr/ Tim Budd reimplemented the interpreters in C++, and has made them available by anonymous ftp from ftp://cs.orst.edu/pub/budd/kamin/ 3. Sharam Hekmatpour "Lisp: A Portable Implementation" Prentice Hall, 1985. ISBN 0-13-537490-X. Describes a portable implementation of a small dynamic Lisp interpreter (including C source code). 4. Peter Henderson "Functional Programming: Application and Implementation" Prentice-Hall (Englewood Cliffs, NJ), 1980. 355 pages. 5. Peter M. Kogge "The Architecture of Symbolic Computers" McGraw-Hill, 1991. ISBN 0-07-035596-7. Includes sections on memory management, the SECD and Warren Abstract Machines, and overviews of the various Lisp Machine architectures. 6. Daniel P. Friedman, Mitchell Wand, and Christopher T. Haynes "Essentials of Programming Languages" MIT Press, 1992, 536 pages. ISBN 0-262-06145-7. Teaches fundamental concepts of programming language design by using small interpreters as examples. Covers most of the features of Scheme. Includes a discussion of parameter passing techniques, object oriented languages, and techniques for transforming interpreters to allow their implementation in terms of any low-level language. Also discusses scanners, parsers, and the derivation of a compiler and virtual machine from an interpreter. Includes a few chapters on converting code into a continuation passing style.
