Group project for the C course unit at FEUP.
The goal of this project was to develop a compiler for a subset of Java, called Java--, or JMM. The compiler was developed in Java, using ANTLR as the parser, the Ollir intermediate language, and the Jasmin assembler.
This project uses gradle as the build system. To compile and run the project, run gradle run --args="<args>", where <args> are the arguments to be passed to the compiler. The compiler supports the following arguments:
-i: Specifies the input file, required.-o: Enables optimizations.-r: Enables register allocation.-d: Enables debug mode.
Java-- is (almost) a subset of Java, with some differences. The following syntax is supported:
- A single class with methods;
- All primitive types, but all numeric types are treated as integers;
- If statements with mandatory else clause;
- For loops;
- For each loops (only for arrays);
- While loops;
- Do-while loops;
- Switch statements;
- All Java operators, except for the modulo operator;
- Return, break and continue statements;
- Arrays;
When the -o flag is passed, the compiler will perform the following optimizations:
- Constant folding;
- Constant propagation;
- Dead code elimination;
When the -r flag is passed, the compiler will perform register allocation.
