Tucan - Bibliography

Majority of the resources I used to build Tucan, my toy optimizing compiler in Rust. This list is not complete but most of the things listed here are things I really read through and used.

Books

Engineering a compiler (I use this a lot! For SSA, dominance and optimizations)
[Static Single Assignment Book][ssabook] (I use this a lot!)
Types And Programming Languages

Here's a list of mildly interesting things about the C language that I learned mostly by consuming Clang's ASTs. Although surprises are getting sparser, I might continue to update this document over time.

There are many more mildly interesting features of C++, but the language is literally known for being weird, whereas C is usually considered smaller and simpler, so this is (almost) only about C.

1. Combined type and variable/field declaration, inside a struct scope [https://godbolt.org/g/Rh94Go]

struct foo {
   struct bar {
 int x;

	#![feature(test)]
	extern crate test;

	#[cfg(test)]
	mod tests {
	use super::*;
	use std::fs::{File};
	use std::io::{BufWriter, Write, BufRead, BufReader};

	#[bench]

	Latency Comparison Numbers (~2012)
	----------------------------------
	L1 cache reference 0.5 ns
	Branch mispredict 5 ns
	L2 cache reference 7 ns 14x L1 cache
	Mutex lock/unlock 25 ns
	Main memory reference 100 ns 20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
	Compress 1K bytes with Zippy 3,000 ns 3 us
	Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network 10,000 ns 10 us
	Read 4K randomly from SSD* 150,000 ns 150 us ~1GB/sec SSD
