This documents gives specific details regarding the course.

Course No. : CSE313

Course Title : Compiler Design (Theory)
Instructor-in-Charge : Mr. Damodharan

Course Description:

This course discusses working procedure of the compiler. Starts with the phases of the
compiler and deals the each phases, Lexical analyzer, Syntax analyzer, semantic Analyzer,
Intermediate code Generator, Code optimizer and code generator. Each phases has its own
techniques and explains the various procedure to achieve each phases.

Scope & Objective:

This course helps the students to gather the knowledge about the compiler and they can
know how the compiler works. After the successful completion of the units student can able
to design their own compiler.
Course Content

UNIT I Introduction
Introduction to Compiler, Phases and passes, Bootstrapping, Finite state machines and regular
expressions and their applications to lexical analysis, Optimization of DFA-Based Pattern Matchers,
implementation of lexical analyzers, lexical-analyzer generator, LEX-compiler, Formal grammars and
their application to syntax analysis, BNF notation, ambiguity, YACC. The syntactic specification of
programming languages: Context free grammars, derivation and parse trees, capabilities of CFG.

UNIT II Basic Parsing Techniques

Parsers, Shift reduce parsing, operator precedence parsing, top down parsing, predictive parsers
Automatic Construction of efficient Parsers: LR parsers, the canonical Collection of LR (0) items,
constructing SLR parsing tables, constructing Canonical LR parsing tables, Constructing LALR parsing
tables, using ambiguous grammars, an automatic parser generator, and implementation of LR
parsing tables.

UNIT III Syntax Directed Translation

Syntax-directed Translation schemes, Implementation of Syntax directed Translators, Intermediate
code, postfix notation, Parse trees & syntax trees, three address code, quadruple & triples,
translation of assignment statements, Boolean expressions, statements that alter the flow of
control, postfix translation, translation with a top down parser. More about translation: Array
references in arithmetic expressions, procedures call, declaration sand case statements.

UNIT IV Symbol Table

Data structure for symbols tables, representing scope information. Run-Time Administration:
Implementation of simple stack allocation scheme, storage allocation in block structured language.
Error Detection & Recovery: Lexical Phase errors, syntactic phase errors semantic errors.
 UNIT V Code Generation
Design Issues, the Target Language. Addresses in the Target Code, Basic Blocks and Flow Graphs,
Optimization of Basic Blocks, Code Generator. Code optimization: Machine-Independent
Optimizations, Loop optimization, DAG representation of basic blocks, value numbers and algebraic
laws, Global Data-Flow analysis.
