Principles of Compiler Design
Course Objectives:
Introduce the major concepts of language translation and compiler design and impart the knowledge of practical skills necessary for constructing a compiler.
Topics include phases of compiler, parsing, syntax directed translation, type checking use of symbol tables, code optimization techniques, intermediate code generation, code generation and data flow analysis.
Course Outcomes:
Demonstrate the ability to design a compiler given a set of language features.
Demonstrate the the knowledge of patterns, tokens & regular expressions for lexical analysis.
Acquire skills in using lex tool & yacc tool for developing a scanner and parser.
Design and implement LL and LR parsers
Design algorithms to do code optimization in order to improve the performance of a program in terms of space and time complexity.
Design algorithms to generate machine code.
