Work Note 6, DM546, Spring 2016

Lecture February 18

Background material: Appel Chapters 5, 7, 8, 9. In this course, we have a slightly different focus from that in the textbook. As a consequence, we will take a simpler and more direct approach to code generation. Thus, it is recommended that you merely skim over the material in the book before the lecture and read after the lecture to the extent that you need the material. You can find support for my approach at the lecture in the Supplementary Notes for DM546.

Exercises March 4

IMADA's Computer Lab has been reserved and is used for this exercise slot, so show up there.

As announced on the previous work note, this exercise session is a continuation of the one from last exercise session. Work on problems from that work note, get things actually running, implement variations to get hands-on experience with concepts you find unclear. Among other things, work on getting the example developed at the previous exercises on nested scope and static link running. You can also develop your own examples. For instance, a variation of the factorial example where you place the factorial function in an inner scope of another function, and have factorial modify a variable in its parent scope before returning a value.

Announcements

As also pointed out in the above, the exercises on March 4 take place in IMADA's Computer Lab.
