Abstract

Compiler writers have always heavily relied on tools: parser generators for generating parsers out of context free grammars, attribute grammar systems for generating semantic analyzers out of attribute grammars, and systems for generating code generators out of descriptions of machine architectures. Since designing such special formalisms and constructing such tools deals with one of the most important issues in computer science, courses on compiler construction have always formed part of the core computer science curriculum.
