Abstract

Earlier this year, I taught a graduate class on Compilers at University of Washington: 10 weeks of 3-hour, evening lectures. The class project was an interesting mixture of technologies: use Java to implement a subset of itself, but generate native machine code via an Assembler text. In this session, I will outline what the class covered – much of it appropriate for any language, such as C++, that compiles to native code and has to concern itself with calling conventions, stack frames, etc. I’ll also reflect upon what I think worked well, and what, less well.

Bio

Jim is a Program Manager with Microsoft’s C++ Compiler Team, involved in code-optimization. In years gone by, he has worked on Computational Physics, Seismic Processing and Operating Systems.
