The Development of a Compiler Design Course With Ada as The Implementation Language

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to introduce the language Ada into our complier design curriculum as the development language. To this end our course which had been traditionally taught using Pascal was to be reworked so that the programming portion would now be done in Ada. In addition, while a subset of Pascal had been normally used as the target design complier, the course was now to have a language similiar to a subset of Ada as the target design complier. This in fact was carried out and the ensuing report describes some aspects of the course development
