Course Objective:

After you complete this course, you should be able to: describe the theory and practice of compilation, in particular, the lexical analysis, parsing and code generation and optimization phases of compilation, and design a compiler for a concise programming language.

Course Description:

CSE 302 is an introduction to the theory and practice of compilation. We will cover topics in lexical and syntax analysis, syntax-directed translation, type checking, issues with the run-time environment, code generation and code optimization. In class projects, we will focus on the design and implementation of the following four stages of compilation for a subset of a modern imperative programming language: lexical analysis, parsing, code generation and code optimization.
