Course content

Compilers are a prerequisite for constructing modern software. Compiler construction is a field of computer technology that early reached maturity, with a sound theoretical basis. Elements of this technology are employed in most areas where one does a thorough analysis of texts on a computer. The course discusses grammars, lexical and syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, optimizations, code generation, interpreters and abstract machines, linkers and run time systems. The concrete structure of a compiler that generates code for a real computer is studied in some detail.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: To give a thorough knowledge of techniques for the construction of compilers (programming language translators) and some insight in how to build systems software, more generally. Abilities: Develop a thorough understanding of how modern compilers work.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and exercises.

Further on evaluation

Assessment includes a final written exam (80%) and work (20%). If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.

For improving the grade in the subject the students can choose to retake only the exam or the whole subject.
