A compiler for the albatross programming language developed in CS473: Compiler Design - Fall 22.
The compiler is written in C which compiles the albatross code into MIPS instructions.
The compiler works in the following stages:
-
Lexing: extracting tokens (Uses flex)
-
Parsing: checking program syntax (Uses yacc)
- AST generation
- Semantic analysis
-
Symbol resolution
-
Type checking
-
AST transformations
-
MIPS instruction generation.
To create the executable of the compiler use make. This should generate an executable named albatrosscc.
Then use the albatrosscc to compile your program.
./albatrosscc <in.albatross> <out.mips>in.albatross is some file that contains your albatross program, and out.mips is the file where the generated mips instructions would be written.
Run the runtests.sh script to run the tests contained within the tests directory in the project root.
