Description 

This class will discuss principles of design and implementation of compilers. In particular, we will learn about different phases of a compiler including lexical analysis, syntactic and semantic analysis including type checking, code generation, and optimization. We will also study basic program analysis techniques required to perform compiler optimization.

​

Students will learn the materials by building new modules on top of an existing compiler (Clang/LLVM) in their programming assignments.
