This repository is for the lab projects in CSCI 4555/5525 and ECEN 4553/5523 Compiler Construction at the University of Colorado Boulder.
As an advanced course, these labs are designed to be open ended with a significant flexibility for your design. There is a minimal amount of starter files in this repository: a minimal run-time system for your programs, a wrapper script for your compiler pyyc
, and a Makefile
for your convenience.
Your compiler should take one argument for the name of the input Python .py
file to compile, and it should produce an output x86 assembly file with the same name as the input file except that the .py
suffix has been replaced by the .s
suffix.
Then, to run a program compiled from your compiler. You need to do the following:
- Build the run-time system (if it is not already built).
$ make -C runtime
- Compile the test program.
$ ./pyyc mytests/test1.py
- Link your assembly with the run-time system.
$ gcc -m32 -g -lm mytests/test1.s runtime/libpyyruntime.a -o mytests/test1
- Run your program.
$ cat mytests/test1.in | mytests/test1 > mytests/test1.out
For your convenience, the Makefile
has targets for these steps that you may use, modify, or ignore as you like.
Your compiler needs to produce code that runs on an x86 Linux machine.
