CSC 4200 - Compiler Construction

3 cr. 3 hr. Offered as needed.

The course studies the techniques involved in the analysis of source language code and the generation of efficient object code. The focus is more on the front end of the compiler (analyzer) than it is on the back end (generator). By working in small project teams, students modify an existing compiler. Topics covered in the class include language definition; lexical, syntactic, and semantic analysis; and code generation.
