Compiler Design

Optimization is a program transformation technique, which tries to improve the code by making it consume less resources (i.e. CPU, Memory) and deliver high speed. In optimization, high-level general programming…

1 Eliminating Redundant Loads and Stores 2 Eliminating Unreachable Code 3 Flow-of-Control Optimizations 4 Algebraic Simplification and Reduction in Strength 5 Use of Machine Idioms While most production compilers produce…

 1 Input to the Code Generator 2 The Target Program 3 Instruction Selection 4 Register Allocation 5 Evaluation Order  While the details are dependent on the specifics of the intermediate…

Code generation can be considered as the final phase of compilation. Through post code generation, optimization process can be applied on the code, but that can be seen as a…

1 Data Access Without Nested Procedures 2 Issues With Nested Procedures 3 A Language With Nested Procedure Declarations 4 Nesting Depth 5 Access Links 6 Manipulating Access Links 7 Access…

1 Activation Trees 2 Activation Records 3 Calling Sequences 4 Variable-Length Data on the Stack  Almost all compilers for languages that use procedures, functions, or methods as units of user-defined…

From the perspective of the compiler writer, the executing target program runs in its own logical address space in which each program value has a location. The management and organization…

 1 Operations Within Expressions  2 Incremental Translation  3 Addressing Array Elements  4 Translation of Array References  The rest of this chapter explores issues that arise during the translation of ex-pressions…

When we encounter declarations, we need to lay out storage for the declared variables. For every local name in a procedure, we create a ST(Symbol Table) entry containing: The type…

YACC stands for Yet Another Compiler Compiler. YACC provides a tool to produce a parser for a given grammar. YACC is a program designed to compile a LALR (1) grammar. It…
