Course objectives
The aim of the seminar is to provide students with a deeper knowledge concerning the structure of programming languages and compilers. To pass this seminar, students have to implement a compiler of a simple programming language. It is possible to work in groups of 2-4 members; the complexity of the project should be proportional to this number.
Syllabus
  • The logical structure of a compiler. Formalisms used for specification of individual modules.
  • The scanner. Regular expressions. Tokens and their precedence.
  • The parser. Top-down and bottom-up analysis.
  • The constrainer. Attribute grammars. Attribute flow. Attribute evaluation.
  • The code generator, optimisations.
  • A complete specification of a simple one-pass optimising compiler. Cooperation between modules.
  • Symbol tables as attributes. Declarations, type checking, scope analysis.
  • Functions. Stack frames. Passing of parameters. Conventions of C and Pascal.
  • Input and Output. The relationship with operating system. Unix and C.
  • I386 assembler, conventions of C.
