Second year mini-project 2
For my second second year mini-project I created a compiler that compiles
a subset of the Java language (with some minor modifications) to Java
byte codes executable on a Java Virtual Machine. The catch is that it
only uses a procedural subset of the byte codes so that it is similar
to compiling to assembly code with no classes, objects, method calls etc.
This means that the compiler must compile object oriented features such
as polymorphism and virtual method dispatch into simple instructions.
The compiler uses the JFlex
and CUP
tools to lex and parse the input respectively and the Jasmin
assembler to assemble Jasmin assembly code to JVM byte code.
