Mini Compiler Development

Mini Compiler Development

We built a fully functional mini compiler capable of performing all five primary phases of compilation including tokenization, DFA creation, parsing, CFG (Context-Free Grammar) analysis, and three-address code generation. The tool offered students hands on experience with real compiler logic, enabling a deeper understanding of programming language processing and syntax analysis, while making learning both interactive and efficient.

Project Summary :

This project was designed as an educational initiative to simplify the complex process of compiler construction. The aim was to develop a functional mini compiler that demonstrates the core concepts of compilation and serves as a practical learning resource for computer science students.
Client

Software Development Course

Challenge

Create a mini compiler that can perform the five main phases of compilation.

Solution

Developed a compiler that includes tokenization, DFA (Deterministic Finite Automaton) creation, parsing, context-free grammar (CFG) analysis, and three address code generation.

Impact

Provided a comprehensive learning tool for students, helping them understand compiler construction.
