“…However, the evolution of Computer Science as a discipline influenced the choice of the source languages and the languages of implementation of the compilers. Reid introduced a practicum based on the implementation of compilers for subsets of C. The compilers were to be implemented in C and produce object programs in Motorola 68020 assembly language. The use of compiler development tools was encouraged in this practicum.…”

This article introduces a compiler construction practicum based on the implementation of a compiler for a small C-like language. The compiler has three phases, viz., lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and intermediate code generation. It uses some venerable principles of compiler construction like recursive descent parsing, syntax directed translation, and backpatching. The practicum is appropriate for pedagogical purposes because of its balanced design and the availability of an open source reference implementation of the compiler with a source code size of 2.2 KLOC only. ß

“…l Lex and Yacc do not incorporate auxiliary libraries to help in the compiler construction task, and thus, the student has to write a lot of code. A system providing a set of auxiliary libraries would allow the student to focus on the problems of the compiler [8].…”

“…A different approach [8] consist in providing students with supplementary material in order to allow them to write a compiler in a single-term course, freeing them of routinary programming tasks. In particular, the material provided in [8] consists of a unique label generator, a symbol-table management module and a string concatenation function.…”

The study of compiler generators is an integral part of compiler construction, and for this reason it is customary to have a programming project entirely devoted to it in compiler courses. There are many compilers generators, but their use in a compiler course presents several problems (e.g. the parsers generated are difficult to understand and to debug). In this paper, we describe such problems and present a compiler generator system, AnLex-AnSin, that solves these problems, and can thus be used in compiler programming projects.
