Description
Are you ready to learn compiler design and compiler development and prove your a master programmer?Learn to create your very own C compiler from scratch. In this course we develop a compiler that compiles a subset of the C Programming Language. By the time you finish all modules of this course you will be able to compile C programs that use pointers, structures, unions, arrays, functions, for loops, while loops. do while loops, if statements, switches and much more!Our compiler also has a preprocessor macro system allowing you to include header files and create definitions just like you would in any C file.Your compiler is advanced enough to use the GCC standard library so we are able to call C functions from our compiler. Your compiler will be able to compile the C programming language.This course does not rely on any frameworks we do everything from scratch to ensure the best possible learning experience for students Module 2 In module 2 of this course we create a code generator that produces 32 bit Intel assembly language that can then be passed through an assembler to produce a program binary that we can run. We also in this module create a resolver system which is responsible for taking a complicated expression such as "a->b.c.e[50] = 50" and breaking it down into simple steps and rules that our code generator can then easily follow. This abstraction is essential to ensure that the code generator does not become over complex. With the use of a resolver system we can ensure the code base remains clean.Throughout the whole course series you will learn to create a fully functioning C compiler.
