The major theme of this course is the theory of compilers. The next main topics are examined: lexical analysis, syntactic analysis, the parsing of LL(1) and LALR(1) languages is examined in detail, semantic analysis using attribute translational grammars, run-time storage organization and management, code generation and code optimization. There is a practice as a part of this course, the theme of the practice: problems of compiler design and implementation. The strategy is to have students design a simple programming language and implement a compiler for this language.
