CS 4386 - Project 3: Symbol Table & Type Checking

This codebase uses Cup and JFlex to generate an abstract syntax tree that follows rules for terminals and nonterminals that are given. Then, the program constructs a symbol table and uses it to type check the syntax.

This was made for CS 4386 (Compiler Design) at the University of Texas at Dallas, taught by Dr. Shiyi Wei.

Instructions

1. Find the Makefile that corresponds to your system. Solaris will use the Makefile-linux file.
2. Rename the Makefile to just say Makefile.
3. Open the terminal to the current directory.
4. Type make. This will generate the required classes, compile it to the out/production/project-3 directory, then run program.
5. To change the test file, open the Makefile and change the TEST_FILE constant to be the respective test.
6. To change the input directory, open the Makefile and change the TEST_FILES_DIR constant to be the respective directory.
7. To change the output directory, open the Makefile and change the OUTPUT_FILES_DIR constant to be the respective directory.

Note: make runParser may be executed to run the abstract syntax tree parser and make runLexer may be executed to run the Lexical analyser.
