Course Description

Formal lexical, syntactic and semantic descriptions, compilation and implementation issues, and theoretical foundations for several programming paradigms.

Outline of Topics

1. Introduction: abstractions; language paradigms; language definition; compilation versus interpretation.
2. Lexical Analysis: regular expressions; deterministic finite automata.
3. Syntax: BNF, EBF, syntax and diagrams; parse trees and abstract syntax trees; one-token look-ahead parsing; recursive- descent parsers;
4. Basic Semantics: data Types and type matching; symbol tables; binding; scope; allocation and storage; variables; pointers.
5. Intermediate Representation
6. Programming Paradigms
7. Object-Oriented Programming
8. Functional Programming: functional algorithms; tail-recursion; lambda calculus – conversions, Church-Rosser theorem, fixed-points.
9. Logical Programming: Horn clause logic, resolution and unification.

Slides

These are the slides of the course (28 lectures).

Assignments

There are four programming assignments in this course: a Lexical Analyzer, a Parser, a Semantics Analyzer and an Intermediate Code Generator. The four assignments bundled together result in a compiler for a custom programming language. An example the statements supported in the programming language designed in this course is shown in the picture. A GUI is provided to visualize the result of each stage: a token table, a parse tree, a symbol table, and intermediate code; as well as a console (in black background) to display alerts and error messages.

Aditionally, a VM with a GUI is provided to test the intermediate code generated by the compiler.

A student (Rajesh Surana) creates a GitHub repository with the source code for the complete project. Take a look at his repository here.
