| Welcome to my favourite subject! If you want a unit that is challenging, gives you a great sense of achievement, and looksfabulous on a resume,this is it! |
The techniques studied in this unit are useful for much more than just writing compilers. Almost anywhere you have a difficult problem inputting data that has some sort of strucure, the tools studied here will make it ten times easier.
This unit addresses compiler design and construction for high-level
programming languages. It covers the techniques needed to translate programs
in high-level languages to machine codes to be executed by the hardware of
Central Processing Units (CPU) of computers. The topics addressed include:
Lexical Analysis, Syntactic Analysis, Intermediate Code Generation, Compiler
Optimization, Object Code Generation.
