Group Assignment: Compiler design
Compiler design is a complex and essential field of study for computer science students. With the
increasing reliance on programming languages, it is crucial to understand the inner workings of a
compiler to create efficient and error-free software. To have deep insight into the compilation process
and to tackle real-world programming challenges, discuss in-depth on the following assignment
questions and don’t forgot to provide appropriate example for each questions.
Part I: Discuss the following basic techniques used in compiler construction:
1. Discuss lexical analysis, and also
a. Discuss how to break the input program into tokens, and discuss any lexical errors as
well as how to fix them.
b. Explain different components of lexical analysis, such as regular expressions and finite
automata, and their role in effectively designing a lexical analyzer.
2. Discuss Syntax analysis including
a. Deals with implementing the process of a parser that recognizes the syntactic structure
of the input program according to the defined grammar.
b. Explain how to construct parse trees, different parsing techniques including top down
and bottom-up as well as LL(1), LR(1)), and recursive descent parsing
c. Explain ambiguity grammar and how to handle ambiguous
3. Discuss Semantic analysis or context-sensitive analysis as well as
a. Type checking according to type expressions and the types of variables and mismatch
errors
4. Intermediate code generation and code optimization.
Part II: Discuss the following basic data structures used in compiler construction:
5. abstract syntax trees,
6. symbol tables,
7. three-address code, and
8. stack machines
Part III: Discuss the following basic software tools used in compiler construction
9. lexical analyzer generators
10. parser generators
