Aim:
The course aims to teach the principles of compiler construction and administration of run-time storage, and how to use modern compiler construction tools.
|
|
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TDDB 57 Data Structures and Algorithms and TDDA 89 Formal Languages and Automata Theory.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

|
Organisation:
The theory is presented in the lectures. The seminars prepare for the laboratory assignments, where a complete compiler for a small Pascal-like language is implemented.
|
|
Course contents:
Different types of translators such as compilers and preprocessors. Methods for lexical analysis and syntax analysis. Management of declarations. Different types of internal representations. Memory management and run-time organization. Code generation and code optimization, especially with regards to RISC processors. Methods for handling errors. Compiler construction and compiler generation tools. Language design. A complete compiler for a Pascal-like language is constructed during the laboratory sessions. Certain modules of this compiler will be automatically generated using compiler generation tools, whereas other parts will be implemented by hand in C++.
