\section*{Coursework 3}
\noindent
-This coursework is worth 5\% and is due on 28 November at 16:00. You are asked to
-implement a compiler for the WHILE language that targets the
-assembler language provided by Jasmin. This assembler
-is available from
-
-\begin{center}
-\url{http://jasmin.sourceforge.net}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-There is a user guide for Jasmin
-
-\begin{center}
-\url{http://jasmin.sourceforge.net/guide.html}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-and also a description of some of the instructions that the JVM understands
-
-\begin{center}
-\url{http://jasmin.sourceforge.net/instructions.html}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-If you generated a correct assembler file for Jasmin, for example
-\texttt{loops.j}, you can use
-
-\begin{center}
-\texttt{java -jar jasmin-2.4/jasmin.jar loops.j}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-in order to translate it to Java byte code. The resulting class file can be
-run with
-
-\begin{center}
-\texttt{java loops}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-where you might need to give the correct path to the class file. There
-are also other resources about Jasmin on the Internet, for example
-\mbox{\url{http://goo.gl/Qj8TeK}} and \mbox{\url{http://goo.gl/fpVNyT}}\;.\bigskip
-
-\noindent
-You need to submit a document containing the answers for the two questions
-below. You can do the implementation in any programming language you like, but you need
-to submit the source code with which you answered the questions. Otherwise
-the submission will not be counted. However, the coursework
-will \emph{only} be judged according to the answers. You can submit your answers
-in a txt-file or as pdf.\bigskip

\subsection*{Question 2 (marked with 2\%)}
-Extend the syntax of you language so that it contains also \texttt{for}-loops, like
-\begin{center}
-\texttt{for} \;\textit{Id} \texttt{:=} \textit{AExp}\; \texttt{upto} \;\textit{AExp}\; \texttt{do} \textit{Block}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-The intended meaning is to first assign the variable \textit{Id} the value of the first arithmetic
-expression, then go through the loop, at the end increase the value of the variable by 1,
-and finally test wether the value is not less or equal to the value of the second
-arithmetic expression. For example the following instance of a \texttt{for}-loop
-is supposed to print out the numbers \texttt{2}, \texttt{3}, \texttt{4}.
-
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{6cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=While,basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-for i := 2 upto 4 do {
- write i
-}
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-There are two ways how this can be implemented: one is to adapt the code generation
-part of the compiler and generate specific code for \texttt{for}-loops; the other is to
-translate the abstract syntax tree of \texttt{for}-loops into an abstract syntax tree using
-existing language constructs. For example the loop above could be translated
-to the following \texttt{while}-loop:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{6cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=While,basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-i := 2;
-while (i <= 4) do {
- write i;
- i := i + 1;
-}
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-In this question you are supposed to give the assembler instructions for the
-program
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{6cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=While,basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-for i := 1 upto 10000 do {
- for i := 1 upto 10000 do {
- skip
- }
-}
-\end{lstlisting}

-\subsection*{Further Information}
-
-The Java infrastructure unfortunately does not contain an assembler out-of-the-box
-(therefore
-you need to download the additional package Jasmin---see above). But it does contain a
-disassembler, called \texttt{javap}. A dissembler does the ``opposite'' of an assembler: it
-generates readable assembler code from Java byte code. Have a look at the
-following example: Compile using the usual Java compiler the simple Hello World
-program below:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{10cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=Java,basicstyle=\ttfamily]
-class HelloWorld {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- System.out.println("Hello World!");
- }
-}
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-You can use the command
-
-\begin{center}
-\texttt{javap -v HelloWorld}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-to see the assembler instructions of the Java byte code that has been generated for this
-program. You can compare this with the code generated for the Scala
-version of Hello World.
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{10cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=Scala,basicstyle=\ttfamily]
-object HelloWorld {
- def main(args: Array[String]) {
- println("Hello World!")
- }
-}
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-
-\subsection*{Library Functions}
-
-You need to generate code for the commands \texttt{write} and \texttt{read}. This
-will require the addition of some ``library'' functions to your generated code. The first
-command even needs two versions, because you might want to write out an
-integer or a string. The Java byte code will need two separate functions for this.
-For writing out an integer, you can use the assembler code
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{12cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-.method public static write(I)V
- .limit locals 5
- .limit stack 5
- iload 0
- getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream;
- swap
- invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(I)V
- return
-.end method
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-This function will invoke Java's \texttt{println} function for integers. Then if you need
-to generate code for \texttt{write x} where \texttt{x} is an integer variable, you can generate
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{8cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-iload n
-invokestatic XXX/XXX/write(I)V
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-where \texttt{n} is the index where the value of the variable \texttt{x} is
-stored. The \texttt{XXX/XXX} needs to be replaced with the class name
-which you use to generate the code (for example \texttt{fib/fib} in case
-of the Fibonacci numbers).
-
-Writing out a string is similar. The corresponding library function uses strings
-instead of integers:
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{12cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-.method public static writes(Ljava/lang/String;)V
- .limit stack 2
- .limit locals 2
- getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream;
- aload 0
- invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(Ljava/lang/String;)V
- return
-.end method
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-The code that needs to be generated for \texttt{write "some\_string"} commands
-is
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{8cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-ldc "some_string"
-invokestatic XXX/XXX/writes(Ljava/lang/String;)V
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-Again you need to adjust the \texttt{XXX/XXX} part in each call.
-
-The code for \texttt{read} is more complicated. The reason is that inputting a string
-will need to be transformed into an integer. The code in Figure~\ref{read} does this.
-It can be called with
-
-\begin{center}
-\begin{minipage}{8cm}
-\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
-invokestatic XXX/XXX/read()I
-istore n
-\end{lstlisting}
-\end{minipage}
-\end{center}
-
-\noindent
-where \texttt{n} is the index of the variable that requires an input.
