I came across this: Writing a compiler using Turbo Pascal I am curious if there are any tutorials or references explaining how to go about creating a simple C compiler. I mean, it is enough if it gets me to the level of making it understand arithmetic operations. I became really curious after reading this article by Ken Thompson. The id...
class A { } class B : public A { doSomething { C * c = new C(this); } } class C { C(A* copy); } In the following example I get the following error: error: no matching function for call to `C::C(B* const)' I wan't to get the A pointer in the this call but for some reason I can't get this through. Probably so...
I am not able to understand the following statement from the file limits.h. What is the use of this statement and what does it accomplishes? /* If we are not using GNU CC we have to define all the symbols ourself. Otherwise use gcc's definitions (see below). */ #if !defined __GNUC__ || __GNUC__ < 2 ...
I'm currently working my way through Andrew Appel's Modern Compiler Implementation in Java, and I'm right around the point where I build the low-level intermediate representation. Initially, I had decided to target the JVM and ignore all of the low-level machine stuff, but in the interest of learning things that I don't know much about ...
Does anyone know what the "-FC" option does in g++? I have it in my SConstruct script that builds the command line g++ command, I have searched google ...
This is just a thought for now, but I wonder how hard it would be to either use the Mono Compiler or write a new one while still outputting a Windows EXE? The reason for this thought is that I see people "abusing" the C# language creatively to get some stuff like code contracts or aspect oriented programming up and running, and sometime...
How to set the warning level for a project (not the whole solution) using CMake? Should work on Visual Studio and GCC. I found various options but most seem either not to work or are not consistent with the documentation. ...
Try this out: template <typename T> class Base { public: int someBaseMember; }; template <typename T> class Test: public Base<T> { public: void testFunc() { someBaseMember = 0; } }; In vc++ and the psp compiler (and any other compiler ...
I've created a dynamic networking library in C. When I try to link it in my C++ program I get an undefined reference the first time I call one of my functions in the library. What I can't understand is that I created a little test program in C that uses the library and it links just fine. Could someone help with my problem? Here are the...
I often find myself writing code like this: throwExceptionWhenEmpty(fileType, "fileType"); throwExceptionWhenEmpty(channel, "channel"); throwExceptionWhenEmpty(url, "url"); The throwExceptionWhenEmpty method does something like this: private void throwExceptionWhenEmpty(final String var, final String varName) { if (var == null ||...
What Anders presents at minute 60 of this video seems pretty cool http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/TL16/ However, I can't find it. Is it released? Is there an alternative? ...
The C# language specification defines the empty-statement grammar production, which allows me to do something like this: static void Main(string[] args) { ; ; ; } Why would Microsoft include this grammar production in the C# language? Does it have a useful purpose? ...
I am using gcc/g++ to compile c/c++ applications - living on OpenSuSe btw. Is there any way (some option i guess) so that g++ will produce an executable suitable for windows ? ...
check this out: template <class T> class Test: public T { public: void TestFunc() { T::SubClass bob; } }; this fails when compiling for iPhone (expected ';' before 'bob'). works on other platforms this is a simplified example of what we are actually trying to do, which is inherit from an std::map<> and inside tha...
check this out: this compiles fine on iPhone: typedef int ATYPE; void AFunc() { ATYPE ATYPE; ATYPE = 1337; } this compiles fine on iPhone: typedef int ATYPE; typedef ATYPE _ATYPE; struct AStruct { _ATYPE ATYPE; }; void AFunc() { AStruct bob; bob.ATYPE = 1337; } but this does NOT: typedef int ATYPE; struct ...
Why when I watch the build output from a VC++ project in VS do I see: 1>Compiling... 1>a.cpp 1>b.cpp 1>c.cpp 1>d.cpp 1>e.cpp [etc...] 1>Generating code... 1>x.cpp 1>y.cpp [etc...] The output looks as though several compilation units are being handled before any code is generated. Is this really going on? I'm t...
How does an interpreter/compiler work? What is the difference between interpreter and compiler. ...
I thought this would be very easy. I downloaded the JDK, extracted src.zip, modified the JDK to fit my needs and saved the file. Now, the only thing I need to do is recompile the extracted and update src folder to a "JRE". I tried using javac, but didn't get anywhere. For example, I got the error that no source files were given. I am ob...
I'm building a toy compiler as a learning project, and I'm hovering around the code generation phase right now. I found this page describing a host of different assemblers that I could target, and I'd like some recommendations on which to choose. My goal is to optimize my learning experience - to that end, I've tried to make decisions ...
Hi, considering this example: public static void main(final String[] args) { final List<String> myList = Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C", "D"); final long start = System.currentTimeMillis(); for (int i = 1000000; i > myList.size(); i--) { System.out.println("Hello"); } final long stop = System.currentTimeMillis(...
