Learning outcomes

This course aims at teaching the techniques underlying the construction of compilers and interpreters. We will address the problems for designing high-level programming languages, as well as the tools used to perform syntax-directed translation and to implement execution environments of low-level codes. The techniques that will be described are nowadays used in several areas, whenever it is necessary a syntax-direct analysis of symbolic expressions, of (semi) structured documents, of domain-specific languages, and their translation into more low-level descriptions. Possible applications range from person-computer interaction to advanced techniques of software engineering, including also the analysis and verification of programs. Furthermore, discussing the issues related to tenvironments where high-level code is translated and executed, we will addressspecific aspects related to programming languages such as types and the object-oriented programming.
