Project 10/11D: Compiler IV: Classes and Arrays

  • Description: Write a complete, working compiler which passes the tests Average, ComplexArray, Square, and Pong. See the project 11 guide for details.

  • What to turn in: Turn in all files necessary for running your compiler (including the tokenizer, etc). Your compiler can be written in any language you wish.

  • Specification: To get credit for this project, you must

    • Complete a working compiler which accepts the name of a .jack file as a command-line argument and outputs a corresponding .vm file with the same base name. (For example, foo.jack should become foo.vm.)
    • Your compiler must also accept the name of a directory, in which case it should compile each .vm file found within the directory.

    • For each of the following tests, your compiler must output a .vm file which behaves identically to the one produced by the JackCompiler provided with your book. Note that unlike some previous projects, you do not have to produce a .vm file which is literally identical to the one produced by the book’s compiler.
