Condition		Passed exam: Compiler construction 1
The goal		Students should gain better understanding of the following topics: a variety of parsing techniques; error detection and recovery; intermediate code generation; code optimization; memory management; code generation
The outcome		It is expected that upon completion of the course a student is able to: Demonstrate understanding, critical analysis and application of existing theories, models and techniques in the field of construction of software translators. To be able to apply advanced tools for construction compilers and other language processors.
Contents
Contents of lectures		Advanced techniques in lexical and syntactic analysis GLR. Error recovery in parsing. Advanced intermediate representations SSA. Runtime Environments: Strategies allocating and freeing memory, virtual machines. Advanced code generators. Optimization for classical architecture: local and global. Advanced tools for construction and other LLVM compiler.
Contents of exercises		Auditory exercises illustrating some of the concepts and techniques discussed in class. Student practical projects - implementation of a given algorithm design in the field of compiler construction.
