1 Compiler Construction Lecture 9

2 DFA Minimization The generated DFA may have a large number of states. Hopcroft s algorithm: minimizes DFA states 2

3 DFA Minimization The generated DFA may have a large number of states. Hopcroft s algorithm: minimizes DFA states 3

4 DFA Minimization Idea: find groups of equivalent states. All transitions from states in one group G 1 go to states in the same group G 2 4

5 DFA Minimization Idea: find groups of equivalent states. All transitions from states in one group G 1 go to states in the same group G 2 5

6 DFA Minimization Construct the minimized DFA such that there is one state for each group of states from the initial DFA. 6

7 DFA Minimization a a A a B b D b E b a a b C b DFA for (a b )*abb 7

8 DFA Minimization b a a A,C a B b D b E a b Minimized DFA for (a b )*abb 8

9 Optimized Acceptor RE R RE=>NFA NFA=>DFA Min. DFA input string w Simulate DFA yes, if w e L(R) no, if w e L(R) 9

10 Lexical Analyzers Lexical analyzers (scanners) use the same mechanism but they: Have multiple RE descriptions for multiple tokens Have a character stream at the input 10

11 Lexical Analyzers Lexical analyzers (scanners) use the same mechanism but they: Have multiple RE descriptions for multiple tokens Have a character stream at the input 11

12 Lexical Analyzers Lexical analyzers (scanners) use the same mechanism but they: Have multiple RE descriptions for multiple tokens Have a character stream at the input 12

13 Lexical Analyzers Return a sequence of matching tokens at the output (or an error) Always return the longest matching token 13

14 Lexical Analyzers Return a sequence of matching tokens at the output (or an error) Always return the longest matching token 14

15 Lexical Analyzers R 1 R 2 RE=>NFA character stream NFA=>DFA Min. DFA Simulate DFA Token stream 15

16 Lexical Analyzer Generators The lexical analysis process can automated We only need to specify Regular expressions for tokens Rule priorities for multiple longest match cases 16
