Compiler for CSX in SML

• Student: Daniel Phelps (2015).
• Purpose: Designed and built a compiler in Standard ML of New Jersey (SML/NJ) for the CSX programming language, which is defined and presented in Crafting a Compiler by Fischer et al, and given as a course project in CS541 Programming Languages.
• Method: Use the SML/NJ compilation manager to construct the compiler out of its parts: the lexical analyzer, the parser, the code generator, and the glue that invokes the other parts in order. The lexical analyzer is written in ml-ulex; the parser in ml-yacc.
• What the student learned
  1. The SML language
  2. Compiler-construction tools for SML: ml-ulex and ml-yacc
  3. Technical writing
