Course Notes: The course notes are on the Web. Clicking on any topic in the following table will retrieve the course notes for that topic.
| Topic | Sections in the text |
|---|---|
| 1. Introduction | 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 |
| 2. Lexical Analysis | 3.1, 7.6, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 |
| 3. A Simple Compiler | 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 |
| 4. Syntax Analysis | 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 |
| 5. Top-Down Translation | 4.4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5 |
| 6. Type Checking | 6.1, 6.2 |
| 7. Intermediate Code Generation | 8.1, 8.3, 8.4 |
| 8. Bottom-Up Translation | 4.5, 4.6, 5.3, 4.7 |
| 9. Run-Time Environments | 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 |
Projects: During the semester you will use C or C++ to develop a compiler that can read any program written in a subset of Pascal and produce intermediate code for that program. The work is divided into three coding projects:
| 1. | Symbol Table Package & Lexical Analyzer | Due Thursday, February 23 |
| 2. | Recursive-Descent Predictive-Parser | Due Tuesday, April 4 |
| 3. | Operator-Precedence Parser | Due Thursday, April 27 |
Don't let other students copy any part of your code. If the same code segment appears in the projects of two or more students then all are penalized because the real author is unknown. Don't copy projects from previous semesters - they are different this semester.
Final Exam: Monday, May 8, 12:45 PM to 3:00 PM in Room 228 MSB. Bring your textbook, course notes, and extra paper.
Grading: Each project is worth 25% and the final exam is worth another 25%. To get a good grade in this course start working on the projects early so you have enough time to write and de-bug your code.
Students with Disabilities: In accordance with University policy, if you have a documented disability and require accommodations to obtain equal access in this course, please contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester or when given an assignment for which an accommodation is required. Students with disabilities must verify their eligibility through the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) in the Michael Schwartz Student Services Center: (330) 672-3391.
