This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Compiler Construction, CC 2008, held in Budapest, Hungary, in March 2008 as part of ETAPS 2008, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software.

The 17 revised full papers presented together with two invited papers and one tool demonstration were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on analysis and transformations, compiling for parallel architectures, runtime techniques and tools, analyses, and atomicity and transactions.
