Lecture 13: Code Generation

In this lecture we study the definition of code generators that transform source language abstract syntax trees into target language programs.

Topics

  • Compilation schemas
  • Correctness of generated code
    • syntactic correctness
    • type correctness
    • semantics preservation
  • Mechanics of code generation
    • string interpolation
    • code generation by term transformation
    • meta-programming with concrete object syntax
  • Optimizing generated code
    • peephole optimizations
    • tail recursion elimination
