Grading:

  • A semester-long multi-phase project (compiler implementation) - 55%
  • Exams - 50%

A passing grade in both components is required to pass the course.

Syllabus:
  • Introduction. Implementation of a simple compiler in Java with object-oriented techniques.
  • Parsing, regular expressions and languages, implementation of lexical analyzers.
  • Syntax analysis, top-down and bottom-up parsing, implementation of syntax analyzers.
  • Semantic analysis and intermediate code generation.
  • Memory organization and execution environment (run-time environment).
  • Register allocation.
  • Generation and optimization of object code.
  • Modern topics in compilers.
Policies:
  • There should be no unacknowledged similarity to the code of others (web sources, other students of the current or past years).
  • Any acknowledged similarity or reused code should be on technicalities unrelated to the main project tasks.
  • Violations of the above result in failing the course.
  • Do not start your coding from code you find online. No matter how much you change it, you are highly likely to be flagged for a violation.
