Lecture 4 Topic
- Principles of Compilation
Parser
- Analyzes the syntax of a program, ensuring it adheres to the programming language's grammar rules
- Converts the code in a linear sequence into a hierarchical tree structure, known as a parse tree
Symbol Table's Role in Compilation
- Stores information about variables, functions, and other program entities
- Acts as a repository during compilation, enabling the compiler to track the use and definition of these entities
- Facilitates efficient code generation and error detection
