PRINCIPLES OF COMPILER CONSTRUCTION (IT602PC)
COURSE PLANNER
I. OBJECTIVE AND RELEVANCE
The objective of this course is to provide a student with an understanding of the fundamental
principles in compiler design and to provide the skills needed for building compilers for
various situations that one may encounter in a career in Computer Science. After the course
a student should have an understanding, based on knowledge of the underlying machine
architecture, the limitations and efficiency of various design techniques of compilers
implementation. The students will also be exposed to System Software programming using
Java and will be trained to develop programs in different parsers, optimization etc., It also
covers programming in various tools like LEX and YACC for scanning and parsing etc.
II. COURSE PURPOSE
The purpose of this course is to provide students with an overview of the issues that arise in
Compiler construction as well as to throw light upon the significant theoretical
developments and tools that are deep rooted into computer science. This course will
basically introduce the major phases of Compiler construction and also its theoretical aspects
including regular expressions, context free grammars etc. As a part of this course the
students are required to design a compiler passing through the phases namely Lexical
Analysis, Syntax Analysis, Semantic Analysis and Intermediate code generation for a small
language.
III. SCOPE OF COURSE
This course provides the concepts related Compiler Design. Here, A mastery of these areas
is essential for us to develop Compiler Design that utilizes computer resources in an
effective manner. A Compiler Design will certainly help the student to create good System.
The Regular Languages are required to determine the quality of Representation
Mechanisms. As computers become faster and faster, the need for programs that can handle
large amounts of input becomes more acute. The objective of this course is to teach students
good automation skills simultaneously so that they can develop such languages with the
maximum amount.
IV. PRE-REQUISITES
