As the name suggests it is a <strong>S*imple</strong>L*anguage. First I started out and implemented a complete type checker. Now I have also finished the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree"><span class="caps">AST</span></a> generation phase. It is really neat and the code looks very good as well.</p> <p>There is also a nice feature where you can dump your <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_table">symbol table</a> and <span class="caps">AST</span> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML"><span class="caps">XML</span></a> and then analyze various things. Oh well, I far from finished though since the next step, namely <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_generation">code generation</a> is still missing. The only thing I dislike is that I have to generate code for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel">Intel</a> architecture. I would much rather generate code for a nice <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC"><span class="caps">RISC</span></a> architecture but that&#8217;s life. Well, I should better catch up on my reading and get away from the computer for today&#8230;</p> Mon, 02 Oct 2006 22:23:00 +0000 urn:uuid:cd6a68dcecd2b51100a23748168476c5 igor http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/2006/10/02/sl-compiler-progress Everyday Life Fun Stuff Hacking and Computers http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/trackback/65
