Compiler Design

GATE CSE Compiler Design — lexical analysis, parsing, syntax-directed translation, and runtime environments.

Learning outcomes

  • Name compiler phases in order
  • Compute FIRST/FOLLOW for a small grammar
  • Distinguish LL(1), SLR, LALR, and CLR at a high level
  • Recognize three-address code patterns

Overview

Compiler Design in GATE focuses on phases, FIRST/FOLLOW, LL/LR parsers, and intermediate code.

Many questions are short calculations on FIRST sets or identifying parser type.

TOC is the recommended prerequisite for the parsing chapters.
