45 PERIODS
LIST OF EXPERIMENTS:
1. Using the LEX tool, Develop a lexical analyzer to recognize a few patterns in C. (Ex. identifiers, constants, comments, operators etc.). Create a symbol table, while recognizing identifiers.
2. Implement a Lexical Analyzer using LEX Tool
3. Generate YACC specification for a few syntactic categories.
a. Program to recognize a valid arithmetic expression that uses operator +, -, * and /.
b. Program to recognize a valid variable which starts with a letter followed by any number of letters or digits.
c. Program to recognize a valid control structures syntax of C language (For loop, while loop, if-else, if-else-if, switch-case, etc.).
d. Implementation of calculator using LEX and YACC
4. Generate three address code for a simple program using LEX and YACC.
5. Implement type checking using Lex and Yacc.
6. Implement simple code optimization techniques (Constant folding, Strength reduction and Algebraic transformation)
7 7. Implement back-end of the compiler for which the three address code is given as input and the 8086 assembly language code is produced as output.
30 PERIODS
TOTAL: 75 PERIODS
