UVM Compiler Construction Assignment Code

Assignment instructions

For your homework exercises, you will be expected to implement various compiler passes. It will ultimately be up to you how exactly to do this, but for the second assignment you are given code templates in compiler-A2.rkt to fill out.

To start out, you must "clone" this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jnear/compiler-construction-assignments.git

This creates a new folder compiler-construction-assignments, which you can enter with:

   cd compiler-construction-assignments

Before each assignment (and when told to by the instructor), you may need to update this code by pulling updates from GitHub by running this command from inside the folder:

   git pull

As you fill out the functions in compiler-A2.rkt, tests are run with the run-tests-A2.rkt module. You can run these tests either from the command line with:

   racket run-tests-A2.rkt

Or by opening and running run-tests-A2.rkt in DrRacket.

Before running the compiler tests, you need to compile runtime.c (see below).

Assignment Submission

Submit your assignment on Blackboard. First, make sure that racket run-tests-A2.rkt produces the correct output (i.e. all the tests run). Then, zip up your whole compiler-construction-assignments directory into a ZIP file:

   cd ..
   zip -r a2.zip compiler-construction-assignments/

Submit this ZIP file on Blackboard as your assignment solution.

Public student code

Utility code, test suites, etc. for the compiler course.

This code will be described in the Appendix of the book.

The runtime.c file needs to be compiled and linked with the assembly code that your compiler produces. To compile runtime.c, do the following

   gcc -c -g -std=c99 runtime.c

This will produce a file named runtime.o. The -g flag is to tell the compiler to produce debug information that you may need to use the gdb (or lldb) debugger.

Next, suppose your compiler has translated the Racket program in file foo.rkt into the x86 assembly program in file foo.s (The .s filename extension is the standard one for assembly programs.) To produce an executable program, you can then do

  gcc -g runtime.o foo.s

which will produce the executable program named a.out.
