Description	The module describes the structure of a typical compiler. The phases of compilation, from the front end to analysis and code generation, as well as the main techniques used in each phase will be covered. Students will develop advanced practical skills in compiler design and implementation. The aims of this module are to: give an overview of issues and techniques in compilation of high-level programming languages deepen the students' practical knowledge of modern compiler design and implementation
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Explain and apply the formalisms used in compiler construction, such as context-free grammars Perform the main analyses and transformations used in compilation Implement and verify certain aspects of a compiler for a modern programming language
