The course looks at a range of issues relating to the design and implementation of modern compilers. In particular, the course will focus on techniques and algorithms for code generation, code optimisation and type checking. During the course projects, students will be working on a fully-fledged Java compiler to extend it in various ways. Students should expect to learn a great deal about how compilers work and, in particular, about the Java compiler and Java Bytecode instruction set. |
