5 Topic: Introduction 5 / 59

6 Interpreter Program Input Interpreter Output Pro: No precomputation on program text necessary no/small Startup-time Con: Program components are analyzed multiple times during the execution longer runtime 6 / 59

7 Concept of a Compiler: Program Compiler Code Code Input Machine Output Two Phases: 1 Translating the program text into a machine code 2 Executing the machine code on the input 7 / 59

8 Compiler A precomputation on the program allows a more sophisticated variable management discovery and implementation of global optimizations Disadvantage The Translation costs time Advantage The execution of the program becomes more efficient payoff for more sophisticated or multiply running programs. 8 / 59

15 Topic: Lexical Analysis 10 / 59

16 The lexical Analysis Program code Scanner Token-Stream 11 / 59

17 The lexical Analysis xyz + 42 Scanner xyz / 59

18 The lexical Analysis xyz + 42 Scanner xyz + 42 A Token is a sequence of characters, which together form a unit. Tokens are subsumed in classes. For example: Names (Identifiers) e.g. xyz, pi,... Constants e.g. 42, 3.14, abc,... Operators e.g. +,... reserved terms e.g. if, int, / 59

19 The lexical Analysis Scanner I O C xyz + 42 xyz + 42 A Token is a sequence of characters, which together form a unit. Tokens are subsumed in classes. For example: Names (Identifiers) e.g. xyz, pi,... Constants e.g. 42, 3.14, abc,... Operators e.g. +,... reserved terms e.g. if, int, / 59

20 The lexical Analysis Classified tokens allow for further pre-processing: Dropping irrelevant fragments e.g. Spacing, Comments,... Separating Pragmas, i.e. directives vor the compiler, which are not directly part of the program, like include-statements; Replacing of Tokens of particular classes with their meaning / internal representation, e.g. Constants; Names: typically managed centrally in a Symbol-table, evt. compared to reserved terms (if not already done by the scanner) and possibly replaced with an index. Siever 12 / 59

21 The lexical Analysis Discussion: Scanner and Siever are often combined into a single component, mostly by providing appropriate callback actions in the event that the scanner detects a token. Scanners are mostly not written manually, but generated from a specification. Specification Generator Scanner 13 / 59

22 The lexical Analysis - Generating: Advantages Productivity The component can be produced more rapidly Correctness The component implements (provably) the specification. Efficiency The generator can provide the produced component with very efficient algorithms. 14 / 59

23 The lexical Analysis - Generating: Advantages Productivity The component can be produced more rapidly Correctness The component implements (provably) the specification. Efficiency The generator can provide the produced component with very efficient algorithms. Disadvantages Specification is just another form of programming admittedly possibly simpler Generation instead of implementatation pays off for Routine-tasks only... and is only good for problems, that are well understood 14 / 59

24 The lexical Analysis - Generating:... in our case: Specification Generator Scanner 15 / 59

25 The lexical Analysis - Generating:... in our case: 0 0 [1-9][0-9]* Generator [1 9] [0 9] Specification of Token-classes: Regular expressions; Generated Implementation: Finite automata + X 15 / 59

26 Lexical Analysis Chapter 1: Basics: Regular Expressions 16 / 59

27 Regular expressions Basics Program code is composed from a finite alphabet Σ of input characters, e.g. Unicode The sets of textfragments of a token class is in general Regular languages can be specified by regular expressions. regular. 17 / 59

28 Regular expressions Basics Program code is composed from a finite alphabet Σ of input characters, e.g. Unicode The sets of textfragments of a token class is in general Regular languages can be specified by regular expressions. regular. Definition Regular expressions The set E Σ of (non-empty) regular expressions is the smallest set E with: ɛ E (ɛ a new symbol not from Σ); a E for all a Σ; (e 1 e 2 ), (e 1 e 2 ), e 1 E if e 1, e 2 E. Stephen Kleene 17 / 59

29 Regular expressions... Example: ((a b ) a) (a b) ((a b) (a b)) 18 / 59

30 Regular expressions... Example: ((a b ) a) (a b) ((a b) (a b)) Attention: We distinguish between characters a, 0, $,... and Meta-symbols (,, ),... To avoid (ugly) parantheses, we make use of Operator-Precedences: > > and omit 18 / 59

31 Regular expressions... Example: ((a b ) a) (a b) ((a b) (a b)) Attention: We distinguish between characters a, 0, $,... and Meta-symbols (,, ),... To avoid (ugly) parantheses, we make use of Operator-Precedences: > > and omit Real Specification-languages offer additional constructs: e? (ɛ e) e + (e e ) and omit ɛ 18 / 59

32 Regular expressions Specifications need Semantics...Example: Specification Semantics abab {abab} a b {a, b} ab a {ab n a n 0} For e E Σ we define the specified language [[e]] Σ inductively by: [[ɛ]] = {ɛ} [[a]] = {a} [[e ]] = ([[e]]) [[e 1 e 2 ]] = [[e 1 ]] [[e 2 ]] [[e 1 e 2 ]] = [[e 1 ]] [[e 2 ]] 19 / 59

33 Keep in mind: The operators (_),, are interpreted in the context of sets of words: (L) = {w 1... w k k 0, w i L} L 1 L 2 = {w 1 w 2 w 1 L 1, w 2 L 2 } 20 / 59

34 Keep in mind: The operators (_),, are interpreted in the context of sets of words: (L) = {w 1... w k k 0, w i L} L 1 L 2 = {w 1 w 2 w 1 L 1, w 2 L 2 } Regular expressions are internally represented as annotated ranked trees: * (ab ɛ). ɛ a b Inner nodes: Operator-applications; Leaves: particular symbols or ɛ. 20 / 59

35 Regular expressions Example: Identifiers in Java: le = [a-za-z_\$] di = [0-9] Id = {le} ({le} {di})* 21 / 59

36 Regular expressions Example: Identifiers in Java: le = [a-za-z_\$] di = [0-9] Id = {le} ({le} {di})* Float = {di}* (\.{di} {di}\.) {di}*((e E)(\+ \-)?{di}+)? 21 / 59

37 Regular expressions Example: Identifiers in Java: le = [a-za-z_\$] di = [0-9] Id = {le} ({le} {di})* Float = {di}* (\.{di} {di}\.) {di}*((e E)(\+ \-)?{di}+)? Remarks: le and di are token classes. Defined Names are enclosed in {, }. Symbols are distinguished from Meta-symbols via \. 21 / 59

38 Lexical Analysis Chapter 2: Basics: Finite Automata 22 / 59

39 Finite automata Example: a ɛ ɛ b 23 / 59

40 Finite automata Example: a ɛ b ɛ Nodes: States; Edges: Transitions; Lables: Consumed input; 23 / 59

41 Finite automata Definition A non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a tuple A = (Q, Σ, δ, I, F) with: Michael Rabin Dana Scott Q Σ I Q F Q δ a finite set of states; a finite alphabet of inputs; the set of start states; the set of final states and the set of transitions (-relation) 24 / 59

42 Finite automata Definition A non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a tuple A = (Q, Σ, δ, I, F) with: Michael Rabin Dana Scott Q Σ I Q F Q δ a finite set of states; a finite alphabet of inputs; the set of start states; the set of final states and the set of transitions (-relation) For an NFA, we reckon: Definition Given δ : Q Σ Q a function and I = 1, then we call A deterministic (DFA). 24 / 59

43 Finite automata Computations are paths in the graph. Accepting computations lead from I to F. An accepted word is the sequence of lables along an accepting computation... a ɛ b ɛ 25 / 59

44 Finite automata Computations are paths in the graph. Accepting computations lead from I to F. An accepted word is the sequence of lables along an accepting computation... a b ɛ ɛ 25 / 59

45 Finite automata Once again, more formally: We define the transitive closure δ of δ as the smallest set δ with: (p, ɛ, p) δ and (p, xw, q) δ if (p, x, p 1 ) δ and (p 1, w, q) δ. δ characterizes for two states p and q the words, along each path between them The set of all accepting words, i.e. A s accepted language can be described compactly as: L(A) = {w Σ i I, f F : (i, w, f ) δ } 26 / 59
