Course objectives
This subject concentrates on practical usage of theoretical computer science in programming with a focus on the compilation of text strings, including files. Knowledge of theory of computing (formal languages, finite and pushdown automata) and programming is required. Students learn basic methods of representation of the lexical and syntactic structure of a programming language using some types of formal grammars, programming lexical and syntactic analyzer according to these structures, and continue with the other phases of compiler programming. Students create the own simple compiler (interpreter) of an arbitrary language, involving working with mathematical expressions.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to:
- describe basic procedures for creating of the lexical and syntactic structure of a programming language using some types of formal grammars,
- design the lexical analyzer and syntactic parser according to these structures,
- program the own simple compiler.
Syllabus
  • 1. Compiler structure.
  • 2. Lexical analysis. Methods of lexical analysis and their implementation.
  • 3.–5. Syntactic analysis, LL(1), strong LL(k) grammars, their use and implementation.
  • 6.–7. Syntactic analysis using strong LR(k) grammars, implementation.
  • 8. Semantic analysis. Symbol table and its implementation. Intermediate code.
  • 9.–10. Syntax-Directed Compilation.
  • 11.–12. Attribute-directed compilation and its implementation.
  • 13. Programming more advanced language constructs.
