Recommended text book(s) on Compilers?

[gnometorule]

Using mostly C or C++, I code under ubuntu and w7. Is there a book equally considered 'the' standard text book like the famous (and excellent) 'Algorithms?'

ANSI C
Let Us C
i prefer for c

I meant a seminal book on how to write compilers in C or C++, not a C textbook.

I'd guess the 'dragon book'

I second that you should get the Dragon Book by Aho et al. I've got it, it was an invaluable book when I took compiler design last year.
