The Organization of Symbol Tables An efficient symbol table organization is an important feature in the design of any compiler. During the construction of the Virginia ALGOL 60 compiler for the Burroughs B205, the primary consideration in the symbol table design was that the recognition of identifiers and reserved words should be as rapid as possible.
