Compiler course COMP 4/6041 Spring 2007 U of M (may not make)

The course did not make. So the priorities change.

I got to chapter 11, register allocation, and tried to use a linear register allocation algorithm that Justin Smith showed me. I got it halfway working and realized that I had a lot more to add to it.

Compiler completion (from 12/30/2004)

• Look at the CPUSim user's manual.
• Look at the CPUSim instructor's manual.
• Figure out a suitable Wombat architecture and implement it.
• Modify my chapter 9 code to generate some kind of tree with assembly language instructions.
• Determine the tree patterns corresponding Wombat code.
• Draw pictures of the tree patterns corresponding to the Wombat code.
• Write a new code generator in chapter 9 for the Wombat code.
• Write a program for chapter 10 to construct a flow graph.
• Write a program for chapter 10 to construct an interference graph. This consists of two steps: construct the liveness information from the flow graph, using the algorithm given, and then construct the interference graph from the liveness information.
• Write a program for chapter 11 to do register allocation.

Adminisrative (Lower priority now)

• Check University of Memphis schedule
• Modify calendar to make new calendar (Started 12/17/2006)
• Maybe make jars of ANTLR available
• Get university accounts set back up (Sent email 12/17/2006)
• Change permissions of directory to make files accessible
• Contact the bookstores about the book (if class makes)
• See if the class Yahoo user group is still working

General

• Review lecture notes, reorganize

ANTLR

• Study ANTLR (Started 12/16/2006) (12/23/2006 enough to get going)
• Build ANTLR, writing up notes on how to do it (no need, has jars)
• Rework early projects in ANTLR; start with 2 (12/22/2006 through 4, enough)
• Rework early notes to use ANTLR
• Come up with a simple example using ANTLR (did SLP grammar, might do another)

Revision of U of M Compiler course web pages

All pages

• Perhaps change email address to Yahoo address
• Perhaps make cooltext buttons for links
• Perhaps add links at bottom as well as top
• Verify the HTML compliant status

http://www.msci.memphis.edu/~simmonsj/c4041/

• Change names on calendar page links, if need be
• Upload to U of M web site
• Verify the HTML compliant status

http://www.msci.memphis.edu/~simmonsj/c4041/admin.html

• Change meeting room
• Change names on calendar page links, if need be
• Change final exam date and time
• Change the test dates
• Upload to U of M web site
• Verify the HTML compliant status

http://www.msci.memphis.edu/~simmonsj/c4041/projects

http://www.msci.memphis.edu/~simmonsj/c4041/projects/proj1.html

• Fix or find replacements for links that are broken (will have to wait for access to departmental account)
• Maybe write ANTLR parser to build ASTs so that they can test from scratch
• Verify the HTML compliant status
