CS606 Course Outline
This course introduces you to the fundamentals of system programming with a strong emphasis on the Windows operating system from Microsoft. You can develop programs for 32- and 64-bit architectures using Microsoft Windows’ available APIs.
The handling of files, memory, errors and exceptions, heaps, Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs), processes threads, and various synchronization mechanisms by Microsoft Windows will be covered in this course.
Topics covered in this course are Passes of a Compiler, Lexical Analysis, Specification of Tokens, Recognition of Tokens, NFA To DFA, DFA State Minimization, Lex, Lex, Parsing, CFG, Derivations, Ambiguity, Precedence, Top-down Parsing, Predictive Parsing, Recursive Descent Parsing, LL Parsing Table Construction, Left Factoring, Bottom-up Parsing, Shift-Reduce Parsing, LR(1) Canonical Collection of Items, LR(1) Parsing Table Construction and Shift-Reduce Conflicts, LALR Parsing, Parser Generators – YACC, Semantic Analysis, Attribute Grammars, Ad-hoc scheme for attribute grammars, Ad-hoc scheme, Intermediate Representation (IR) and Intermediate Representation taxonomy.
It also covers Syntax-directed translation: assignment statement, Syntax-directed translation: control flow statement, Syntax-directed translation: Boolean expression, Syntax-directed translation: back patching, type checking, Code Generation: Basic Blocks, Code Generation: Register Allocation, Code Optimization, and Pre-Assessment, etc.
However, because this is a basic course, we will focus most of our time on syntax analysis and code development. We’ll talk about optimization briefly. The course gives students a hands-on chance to understand how concepts and techniques from diverse fields of computer science may be combined to create a useful application.
