Projects for CS 394/324

The majority of the class is expected to do routine C compiler project (section 1) while a small number of students are encounraged to do GCC projects (section 2) and earn extra credits. The difference between the two projects is that

• The C compiler project will implement the compile phase-wise, i.e. first the scanner will be implemented for the complete language, then the parser, and so on. The compiler will grow module wise and the lanuage it accepts will remain same.
• The GCC project will implement the compiler feature-wise, i.e. all the phases will be implemented for minimal features. Thus the language processor (in this case an interpreter) will do the entire job right from the beginning. It will grow incrementally as new features are added to the language.
