Which book was that? Sounds excellent.

Might have been Compiler Design in C from 1990. Looks like that's available for free now: https://holub.com/compiler/

you'll forgive me if I don't ring them in the early hours of the morning...

remember C was specifically designed to be easy to compile

(hence anachronisms like forward declarations)
