Java Compiler
Simplified Java compiler implementation
Tech Stack
Overview
A sophisticated compiler implementation for a simplified version of the Java programming language. This academic project demonstrates advanced understanding of compiler construction, including all phases from lexical analysis to code generation. The compiler handles Java-like syntax, performs comprehensive semantic analysis, implements type checking, and generates intermediate code. Built using modern compiler construction techniques, this project showcases the ability to work with complex language specifications and implement robust parsing and analysis algorithms.
The Story
Background
In my first year to get my Master's degree in Software Engineering, we were asked to create a simplified Java compiler. This advanced academic project built upon the compiler theory knowledge from my bachelor's degree and challenged us to implement a more complex language with object-oriented features.
Key Achievements
- Successfully implemented a compiler for a Java-like programming language
- Developed comprehensive lexical and syntax analysis for Java constructs
- Implemented advanced semantic analysis for object-oriented features
- Built a robust type checking system for Java's type system
- Completed the Master's level project with excellent results
Impact
This project demonstrated the ability to tackle graduate-level computer science challenges and work with complex programming language specifications. It showcases advanced knowledge of compiler design, software engineering principles, and the capability to implement sophisticated software systems.
