Does anybody have a favorite Compiler Theory book that uses Ada as the
language being compiled? Or even better: that uses Ada as both the
implementation language and the source language?

You know, I remember once seeing a book called "Crafting an Ada Compiler"
but I never got around to looking at it.  Just from the title, it seems
to be what you were asking about.  Has anyone used it?  Is it good?

I very much enjoyed Crafting A Compiler,  by Fisher and Leblanc.  I think it
has gone out of print, though.  Most of the examples were in Ada, as I
recall.

It is impossible to feel great confidence in a negative theory which has
always rested its main support on the weak points of its opponent.

Thanks. I can probably get it from the Pratt library - they're good about
tracking things down from inter-library loans if necessary.

Niklaus Wirth's book "Compiler Construction" is pretty good too, even
though it uses a subset of Oberon and not Ada. Fischer and LeBlanc's book 
leaves out generics and OO, but does treat Ada style overloading. Wirth's 
book is short, and doesn't waste a lot of time on parsing.
