Compiler Design Important Questions

The document outlines important questions for the compiler design subject that may appear on exams. It covers 5 units: 1) Phases of compilers, errors in phases, grouping phases, and compiler construction tools. 2) Role of lexical analysis, defining tokens and lexemes, input buffering, and problems with NFA to DFA conversions. 3) Problems with LALR, SLR, LR(0) parsing, and predictive parsing theory. 4) Different storage allocation strategies, type checking specifications, and parameter passing. 5) Sources of code optimization, code generation algorithms, code generator issues, and global data flow analysis. Mastering the questions in these units will
