Resources on the Theory Behind Decompilers?

Posted by Cliff on from the learning-how-it's-done dept.

An ever-questing Anonymous Coward asks: " I took a compiler design class last fall and found the material to be very interesting. I've recently started to become interested in decompilers. I looked around on the Internet to see if I could find a general description of how a decompiler is designed, and the theory behind them. Unfortunately all I was able to find were sites that had decompilers for some language and not a general discussion of decompilers. Does anyone know of any sites or books that discusses the theory of decompilers their design?"
