22 Language Processing Terminology and Requirements Language Processing: The Translation Task Source Code Translator Error Message or Target Code Translator (in a broader sense): Analysis, Optimization and Translation Souce Code: Input (String) for Translator in Syntax of Source Language (SL) Target Code: Output (String) of Translator in Syntax of Target Language (TL) Ina Schaefer Compilers 22

23 Language Processing Phases of Language Processing Terminology and Requirements Analysis of Input: Program Text Specification Diagrams Dependant on Target of Implementation Transformation (XSLT, Refactoring) Pretty Printing, Formatting Semantic Analysis (Program Comprehension) Optimization (Actual) Translation Ina Schaefer Compilers 23

24 Language Processing Compile Time vs. Run-time Terminology and Requirements Compile Time: during Run-time of Compiler/Translator Static: All Information/Aspects known at Compile Time, e.g. Type Checks Evaluation of Constant Expressions Relative Adresses Run Time: during Run-time of Compiled Program Dynamic: All Information that are not statically known, e.g. Allocation of Dynamic Arrays Bounds Check of Arrays Dynamic Binding of Methods Memory Management of Recursive Procedures For dynamic aspects that cannot be handled at compile time, the compiler generates code that handles these aspects at runtime. Ina Schaefer Compilers 24

25 Language Processing Terminology and Requirements What is a good compiler? Ina Schaefer Compilers 25

26 Language Processing Terminology and Requirements Requirements for Translators Error Handling (Static/Dynamic) Efficient Target Code Choice: Fast Translation with Slow Code vs. Slow Translation with Fast Code Semantically Correct Translation Ina Schaefer Compilers 26

27 Language Processing Terminology and Requirements Semantically Correct Translation Intuitive Definition: Compiled Program behaves according to Language Definition of Source Language. Formal Definition: semsl: SL_Program SL_Data SL_Data semtl: TL_Program TL_Data TL_Data compile: SL_Program TL_Program code: SL_Data TL_Data decode: TL_Data SL_Data Semantic Correctness: semsl(p,d) = decode(semtl(compile(p), code(d))) Ina Schaefer Compilers 27

28 Language Processing Compiler Architecture Compiler Architecture Source Code as String Analysis Token Stream Scanner Parser Decorated Syntax Tree (Close to SL) Translator Intermediate Language Synthesis Attribution & Optimization Attribution & Optimization Syntax Tree Name and Type Analysis Code Generator Target Code as String Peep Hole Optimization Ina Schaefer Compilers 28

29 Language Processing Compiler Architecture Properties of Compiler Architectures Phases represent Concepts. Phases can be interleaved. Concrete Layout of Phases depends on Source Language, Target Language and Concrete Design Decisions. Phase vs. Pass (Phase can comprise more than one pass.) Separate Translation of Program Parts (Interface information must be accessible.) Combination with other Architecture Decisions: Common Intermediate Language Ina Schaefer Compilers 29

30 Language Processing Compiler Architecture Common Intermediate Language Source Language 1 Source Language 2... Source Language n Intermediate Language Target Language 1 Target Language 2... Target Language m Ina Schaefer Compilers 30

31 Language Processing Compiler Architecture Dimensions of Compiler Construction Programming Languages Sequential Procedural, Imperative, OO-Languages Functional, Logical Languages Parallel Languages/Language Constructs Target Languages/Machines Code for Abstract Machines Assembler Machine Languages (CISC, RISC,...) Multi Processor Architectures Memory Hierarchy Translation Tasks: Analysis, Optimization, Synthesis Construction Techniques and Tools: Bootstrapping, Generators Portability, Specification, Correctness Ina Schaefer Compilers 31

32 Compiler Construction Compiler Construction Techniques 1. Stepwise Construction Construction with compiler for different language Construction with compiler for different machine Bootstrapping 2. Compiler - Compiler: Tools for Compiler Generation Scanner Generators (regular expressions) Parser Generators (context-free grammars) Attribute Evaluation Generators (attribute grammar) Code Generator Generators (machine specification) Interpreter Generators (semantics of language) Other Phase-specific Tools 3. Special Programming Techniques General Technique: syntax-driven Special Technique: recursive descend Ina Schaefer Compilers 32

33 Compiler Construction Stepwise Construction ogrammierung basiert üblicherweise auf Exis es Übersetzers für die Implementierungsspr Programming typically depends on existing compiler for implementation language. For compiler construction, this does not hold in general. i Übersetzerkonstruktion kann davon im Allg Source, target and implementation languages of compilers can be sgegangen denoted in T-Diagrams. werden; stehe QS ZS PS T-diagram denotes compiler from QS to ZS written in PS. einen Übersetzer der in Sprache PS geschr und QS in ZS übersetzt. Ina Schaefer Compilers 33

34 Compiler Construction Construction with compiler for different language Given: SL Compiler Construct: Compiler for machine language (MS) in MS Suppose: C Compiler exists on platform with machine language QS SL MS QS SL MS to zu be entwickeln developed C existing existiert C MS MS MS by durch translation Übersetzung Ina Schaefer Compilers 34

Implement QS 0 Compiler for MS in MS 3. Implement QS i+1 Compiler for MS in QS i 4. Create QS i+1 Compiler for MS in MS Ina Schaefer Compilers 37
