7. Compiler vs Interpreter • Compiler • Interpreter

8. Hybrid

9. Where’s Java? • Hybrid • Compilation step – translate source to bytecode • Interpretive step – run bytecode program on Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

10. Phases of Compilation Process

11. Example of Dataflow of Compilation Process • Token Stream • TokenCode Lexeme • ID main • LPAREN ( • RPAREN ) • LBRACE { • INT int”keyword” • ID i • COMMA , • ID sum • SEMICOLON ; • … • Source Program in file • main(){ • inti, sum; • for(i=0, sum=0; i < 100; ++i){ • sum = sum + i; • } • printf("Sum=%d\n", sum); • }

12. Intermediate Representation (Parse Tree)

13. Assembly Code • L2: • cmpl $99, -4(%ebp) • jle L5 • jmp L3 • L5: • movl -4(%ebp), %eax • leal -8(%ebp), %edx • addl %eax, (%edx) • leal -4(%ebp), %eax • incl (%eax) • jmp L2 • L3: • movl -8(%ebp), %eax • movl %eax, 4(%esp) • movl $LC0, (%esp) • call _printf • leave • ret • .def _printf; • more ex1.s • .file "ex1.c" • .def ___main; • .text • LC0: • .ascii "Sum=%d\12\0" • .globl _main • .def _main; .scl • _main: • pushl %ebp • movl %esp, %ebp • subl $24, %esp • andl $-16, %esp • movl $0, %eax • movl %eax, -12(%ebp) • movl -12(%ebp), %eax • call __alloca • call ___main • movl $0, -4(%ebp) • movl $0, -8(%ebp)

14. Machine Code • Loader phase – link in libraries • #include <stdio.h> • /usr/lib/libc.a - standard library

15. GCC and some of its flags • GCC – Gnu (Gnu is Not Unix) C compiler • gcc phases • Preprocessor only gcc –E ex1.c > ex1.i • Stop with assembly gcc –S ex1.c • Compile only gcc –c ex1.c • Loader - link in libraries • Disaasemblers • objdump

16. Phases of compiler

17. Fig 1.7 – Translation of an Assignment

18. Dynamic vs Static typing • Static means happens at compile time • Dynamic means happens at run time • Python – • x = parseInput(line) • if x < 0 : • sq = “sqrt of x is Not a real number” • else: • sq = sqrt(x) • print (“sq=“, sq)

19. Block structure

20. Parameter Passing • Call by value • Call by reference • Call by copy-restore

21. Formal Language Theory • Mathematical Models of languages • where a language is just a set of strings of characters from a particular alphabet • Examples • L1 = {legitimate English words} • L2 = {Keywords of C} • L3 = { strings of zeroes and ones that have more zeroes}

22. Chomsky Hierarchy • Noam Chomsky – famous Linguist came up with the Chomsky Hierarchy • Level 1 – regular languages • Level 2 – context free languages • Level 3 – context sensitive languages • Level 4 – unrestricted languages • We will look at a few of these in our attempts to define efficient compilers

23. Regular languages (level 1) • Regular Expressions are expressions that represent regular languages • The operators (the base ones are) • Concatentation . Or juxtaposition • Alternation | • Kleene closure * • For a regular expression R the language that is represents is denoted L(R)

24. Deterministic Finite Automata • A Deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is a mathematical model that consists of • 1. a set of states S • 2. a set of input symbols ∑, the input alphabet • 3. a transition function δ: S x ∑  Sthat for each state and each input maps to the next state • 4. a state s0that is distinguished as the start state • 5. a set of states F distinguished as accepting (or final) states
