|
| 1.
| [Theoretical foundation]
Understand the important theories, in particular, lexical and syntax analysis, and optimization that underpin the construction and operation of compilers and translators. |
| 2.
| [Compiler construction]
Understand the various phases of a compiler, and how they are integrated to produce a working compiler. |
| 3.
| [Compiler tools]
Be able to apply popular compiler generation tools in particular, Lex and Yacc (or their improved variants) to compiler construction, and be able to modify any given grammar to fit the requirements of these tools. |
| 4.
| [Compiler project]
Be able to work in a team to develop, test, and deliver a complete working compiler for a real or realistic target machine. |
