#ACSE
ACSE (Advanced Compiler System for Education) is a simple compiler de- veloped for educational purpose as a tool for the course “Formal languages and compiler”. ACSE is able to translate a source code written in LanCE 1.3 (Language for Compilers Education) into an assembly for the MACE archi- tecture (see the MACE documentation in Chapter 3). Figure 1.1 shows the components mentioned above and their interaction.
This version works also under Mac OSX Yosemite and El Capitan (edited some files to work with new version of gcc etc...)
ACSE was provided to students in "Formal Languages and Compilers (FLC)" course at Politecnico di Milano.
You can navigate through the different branches of this repository to see the different exercises I made in order to prepare for the exam.
Here are my notes: Notes
To install the ACSE compiler type in the console: make
To compile some examples (located in the directory ./tests) type: make tests
In order to use the compiler/assembler/executor at first you have
to export the directory ./bin in your current PATH as follows:
export PATH=`pwd`/bin:$PATH
You can compile and run new Lance programs in this way (suppose you have saved a Lance program in 'myprog.src'):
acse myprog.src myprog.asm
asm myprog.asm myprog.o
mace myprog.o
