We will be continuing your project from last quarter, building a simple compiler for a subset of Oberon-2. We will be generating code for the Sun Sparc architecture. It is likely different than previous quarters.
Many students stop attending lecture to work on the compiler.
This is a mistake . Both the lectures and discussion section strongly emphasize the project. Techniques are taught, hints are given, and example code is provided. You may find that 5 minutes in class saves you 5 days in the lab. The projects in 131b are much harder than those in 131a because there are fewer tools to help you.
