Compilers (2012 remix)

This section of the Wiki provides course materials and a discussion forum for the course Compilers that I am giving at Oxford in Hilary Term, 2012. See the category page for a list of all pages related to the course.

Some pages will contain course material, and I will protect these from editing, so that everyone can see the material as I presented it. But each protected page will have an associated discussion page, and you are welcome to add comments there, or to make additions to any of the other pages. To make edits, you will need to create an account for yourself.

Older edition

Material on the course pages will appear gradually over the course of the term, beginning with what I used last year. For what it's worth, you can still look at the material I used when I first gave the course some time ago. My opinions haven't changed, but technical details of the presentation have improved.
