CSC 411: Compiler Construction

Offered Under: B.Sc. in Computer Science (CSC)

Description

This course introduces the fundamental principles and practices for the design and implementation of compilers and interpreters. Core topics covered include: preprocessors, assemblers and linkers; scanning theory and practices; grammar and parsing; symbol tables; run-time environment and storage organization; lexical, syntax and semantic analysis; syntax directed translation and type checking; code generation and optimization; constructing prototype compiler modules for a hypothetical language.

Prerequisites:

CSC 305 + Lab : Object-Oriented Programming

Course Type	Major
Credit Hour	3
Lecture Hour	45

Expected Outcome(s):

Identify the dataflow problem(s) required for a given dataflow optimization.
Construct and solve the dataflow equations for a given dataflow problem.
Identify the classical optimizations that could be applicable to a given piece of code to improve its performance.
Analyze the major control flow properties of a program, including control flow graphs, dominators, natural loops, and reducible vs. irreducible flow graphs.
Translate a source-level language into a low-level compiler internal representation.
Choose the appropriate compiler internal representation for different kinds of compiler tasks.
Implement the major phases of a simple compiler, including scanning, parsing, intermediate code generation, and a few program optimizations.
