Objectives

From University Syllabus:
Students understand the role of language processing systems such as compilers and translators, the processing methods of languages, the importance of compilers, and the relation between theory and practice (that is, formal language theory and language processing systems).

Grading Scheme and Policies

Textbook

Engineering a Compiler by Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon (Rice University, Houston, Texas),
ISBN: 1-55860-698-X, Morgan Kaufmann.
Please note that each student is required to have his/her own copy of the textbook.

Rough Schedule

The schedule will be adjusted based on progress and understanding of the class. Please check the course web page for any update. As shown above, emphasis is placed on the front-end part of the compilers in this class. However, we also cover some topic related to the back-end of the compiler (such as register allocation, intermediate representations, code shaping).
