MIPS Compiler for MiniJava

Setup

• Building: Run build.xml with ant.
• Testing: Run the AllTests.java suite with junit.
• (optional) JastAdd Syntax Highlighting in Eclipse: JastAdd Eclipse Plugin.
  Then in Preferences under File->Editors->FileAssociations associate "*.beaver" with "JastAdd Parser Editor"

Compilation order

1. Scan the input via JFlex
2. Parse the token stream via Beaver
3. Annotate the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) via JastAdd
   • Name resolution
   • Type analysis
   • Error checking
4. Transform MiniJava AST to Piglet AST
5. Transform Piglet AST to Simplified Piglet AST
   • Liveness analysis
6. Transform SPiglet AST to Kanga AST
7. Transform Kanga AST to MIPS AST
8. Prettyprint MIPS AST

Usage examples

Check for Syntax/Semantic errors:

MJFile file = new MJFile("tests/Factorial.java");
minijava.Program program = file.parse();
for (SemanticError e : program.errors()) {
    System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}

Compilation:

MJFile file = new MJFile("tests/Factorial.java");
mips.Program mips = file.parse().toPiglet().toSpiglet().toKanga().toMips();
String mipsCode = mips.print().getString();

Interpreting:

It is possible to interpret Piglet, Spiglet, Kanga and Mips.

MJFile file = new MJFile("tests/Factorial.java");
spiglet.Program spiglet = file.parse().toPiglet().toSpiglet();
System.out.println(spiglet.interpret());
