Compiler
In my compiler class, my team created a fully-functional compiler that could translate a subset of the Decaf programming language into Assembly, using standard compiler methods and optimizations.
Step by Step
Mission Purpose
The compiler requires many different steps to be completed.
Resources
Journey
I learned the different steps of how compilers work, including parsing, semantic analysis, and code generation.
Results
We made progress on each step of the compiler's development, testing each step to ensure it was working as intended. This led us to create a fully-functional compiler.
Optimizations
Mission Purpose
Our compiler needs to be fast and efficient.
Resources
Journey
We learned the implementation for several optimizations and implemented several dataflow optimizations as well as register allocation.
Results
Our compiler became almost twice as fast.
