This project is a compiler development tutorial that provides a series of guides and exercises for building a complete compiler from scratch. It focuses on the implementation of a structured compilation pipeline to transform high-level source code into executable machine instructions.
The project covers the creation of a machine code generator for specific processor architectures and a static analysis framework. This framework includes methodologies for implementing type checking and constant folding to verify logic correctness before the final execution phase.
The instructional material encompasses the entire compilation process, including language front-end development with lexical scanners and parsers, as well as the engineering of multi-pass pipelines. It also addresses the design of self-hosting compilers and the use of recursive descent parsing.
