Basic problems in the translation of programming languages focusing on theory and common implementation techniques for compiling traditional (Pascal-like) programming languages to produce assembly or object code for typical machines. Involves a substantial laboratory project in which the student constructs a working compiler for a considerable subset of a realistic programming language within a provided skeleton. Lectures augmented by a discussion section covering details of the programming language to be used in the project (Java), the operating system (Unix), the source language (a Pascal subset) and various tools (javacup, make, etc.). Use of computer required.
