Condition Passed exam: Compiler construction 1
The goal Students should gain better understanding of the following topics: a variety of parsing techniques; error detection and recovery; intermediate code generation; code optimization; memory management; code generation
The outcome It is expected that upon completion of the course a student is able to: Demonstrate understanding, critical analysis and application of existing theories, models and techniques in the field of construction of software translators. To be able to apply advanced tools for construction compilers and other language processors.
Contents
Contents of lectures Advanced techniques in lexical and syntactic analysis GLR. Error recovery in parsing. Advanced intermediate representations SSA.
