CAU COMPILER PROJECT 2024: Syntax analyzer
COMPILER PROJECT 2024
The goal of the term-project is to implement a bottom-up syntax analyzer (a.k.a., parser) as we’ve learned. More specifically, you will implement the syntax analyzer for a simplified C programming language with the following context free grammar G;
CFG G:
-
01: CODE → VDECL CODE | FDECL CODE | ε
-
02: VDECL → vtype id semi | vtype ASSIGN semi
-
03: ASSIGN → id assign RHS
-
04: RHS → EXPR | literal | character | boolstr
-
05: EXPR → EXPR addsub EXPR | EXPR multdiv EXPR
-
06: EXPR → lparen EXPR rparen | id | num
-
07: FDECL → vtype id lparen ARG rparen lbrace BLOCK RETURN rbrace
-
08: ARG → vtype id MOREARGS | ε
-
09: MOREARGS → comma vtype id MOREARGS | ε
-
10: BLOCK → STMT BLOCK | ε
-
11: STMT → VDECL | ASSIGN semi
-
12: STMT → if lparen COND rparen lbrace BLOCK rbrace ELSE
-
13: STMT → while lparen COND rparen lbrace BLOCK rbrace
-
14: COND → COND comp COND | boolstr
-
15: ELSE → else lbrace BLOCK rbrace | ε
-
16: RETURN → return RHS semi
✓ Terminals (21)
-
vtype for the types of variables and functions
-
num for signed integers
-
character for a single character
-
boolstr for Boolean strings
-
literal for literal strings
-
id for the identifiers of variables and functions
-
if, else, while, and return for if, else, while, and return statements respectively
-
class for class declarations
-
addsub for + and - arithmetic operators
-
multdiv for * and / arithmetic operators
-
assign for assignment operators
-
comp for comparison operators
-
semi and comma for semicolons and commas respectively
-
lparen, rparen, lbrace, and rbrace for (, ), {, and } respectively
-
✓ Non-terminals (13)
CODE, VDECL, ASSIGN, RHS, EXPR, FDECL, ARG, MOREARGS, BLOCK, STMT, COND, ELSE, RETURN -
✓ Start symbol: CODE
Descriptions
-
✓ The given CFG G is non-left recursive, but ambiguous.
-
✓ Codes include zero or more declarations of functions and variables (CFG line 1)
-
✓ Variables are declared with or without initialization (CFG line 2 ~ 3)
-
✓ The right hand side of assignment operations can be classified into four types; 1) arithmetic
operations (expressions), 2) literal strings, 3) a single character, and 4) Boolean strings (CFG
4)
-
✓ Arithmetic operations are the combinations of +, -, *, / operators (CFG line 5 ~ 6)
-
✓ Functions can have zero or more input arguments (CFG line 7 ~ 9)
-
✓ Function blocks include zero or more statements (CFG line 10)
-
✓ There are four types of statements: 1) variable declarations, 2) assignment operations, 3) if-
else statements, and 4) while statements (CFG line 11 ~ 13)
-
✓ if and while statements include a conditional operation which consists of Boolean strings
and condition operators (CFG line 12 ~ 14)
-
✓ if statements can be used with or without an else statement (CFG line 12 & 15)
-
✓ return statements return 1) the computation result of arithmetic operations, 2) literal strings,
3) a single character, or 4) Boolean strings (CFG line 16)
-
✓ This is not a CFG for C. This is for simplified C. So, you don’t need to consider grammars
and structures not mentioned in this specification.
Based on this CFG, you should implement a bottom-up parser as follows:
✓ Discard an ambiguity in the CFG
✓ Construct a SLR parsing table for the non-ambiguous CFG through the following website:
http://jsmachines.sourceforge.net/machines/slr.html
✓ Implement a SLR parsing program for the simplified Java programming language by using the constructed table.
For the implementation, please use C, C++, or Python (If you want to use . Your syntax analyzer
must run on Linux or Unix-like OS without any error.
Your syntax analyzer should work as follows:
✓ The execution flow of your syntax analyzer: syntax_analyzer <input file>
✓ Input: A sequence of tokens (terminals) written in the input file
e.g., vtype id semi vtype id lparen rparen lbrace if lparen boolstr comp boolstr rparen lbrace
rbrace
✓ Output
◼ (If a parsing decision output is “accept”) please construct a parse tree (not abstract
syntax tree) for the input sequence
◆ You can design the data structure to represent the tree as you want.
◼ (If an output is “reject”) please make an error report which explains why and where the
error occurred (e.g., line number)
Term-project schedule and submission
✓ Deadline: 6/9, 23:59 (through an e-class system)
◼ For a delayed submission, you will lose 0.1 * your original project score per each
delayed day
✓ Submission file: team_<your_team_number>.zip or .tar.gz
◼ The compressed file should contain
◆ The source code of your syntax analyzer with detailed comments
◆ The executable binary file of your syntax analyzer (if you implemented using
a complied language)
◆ Documentation (the most important thing!)
-
⚫ It must include 1) your non-ambiguous CFG G and 2) your SLR parsing table
-
⚫ It must also include any change in the CFG G and all about how your syntax
analyzer works for validating token sequences (for example, overall procedures, implementation details like algorithms and data structures, working examples, and so on)
◆ Test input files and outputs which you used in this project
⚫ The test input files are not given. You should make the test files, by yourself,
