Session 21a

Catch Up and Triage

810:155
Translation of Programming Languages

We will not be moving ahead to new lecture notes today. Instead, we will do two things:

• triage your BigRig compiler project. It is time to reduce scope in the interest of delivering a good product.

  Decision: Keep the language definition as it is. Generate Java as the target language, rather than JVM byte codes.

• finish up with Session 21, Accessing Non-Local Names in Dynamic Allocation.

We will adjust the rest of the semester based on where we end today.
