- Compiler structure : lexical analysis, syntax analysis, code generation.
- BNF grammar.
- Top-down and bottom-up parsers.
- Complete design of a weak precedence parser.
- Design of the semantics routines.
- Use of compilation techniques for tailoring a language to a particular application
- Practicals : design of a complete compiler

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the student will have a good knowledge of the general structure of a compiler and will be able to implement from scratch a compiler for a simple language. |
