BCT 2311 Compiler Construction ~ Course Outline
Course Goals
The students should be able to;
Understand the fundamental issues in modern compiler design and implementation.
Become familiar with concepts, methods, and tools in compiler front-end design.
Become familiar with methods, techniques in compiler intermediate representation and code
generation.
Become familiar with basics of compiler analysis and optimization.
Course Description
Formal treatment of programming language translation and compiler design concepts; compilers and
interpreters . Language theory. Parsing context-free languages, translation specifications and machine-
independent code optimization; main phases of compilation. Lexical analysis. Syntax analysis. Semantic
analysis. Code generation. Symbol table design. Program compilation. Loading and execution. Compilation
techniques. Optimisation. Design of a simple complete compiler.
