Course Certificate

To get a course certificate students must

  • get at least 50% of the homework assignments,
  • implement a working ANSI C compiler for a virtual machine, and
  • pass the exam at the end of the term.

Grades will be based on the exam and on the project.

Contents

The course treats compiler construction for imperative programming languages, lexical, syntax, and semantic analysis, static program analysis and optimization, code generation and instruction scheduling. This course provides all necessary theoretical knowledge required to implement a compiler from scratch - this forms the practical part of the lecture.
