Week 9/45

Exercises on code generation

1. Discuss what a good strategy for computing the stack limit could be.
2. Show an appropriate code template for the for-loop, which could be used if we no longer handled it as syntactic sugar.
3. Change the code template for !E (on slide 19) to compute the result as 1-E. Modify the JOOS compiler and try it out.
4. Study the code for generating code for JOOS programs.
