Trio: We just audited this compiler course from Stanford, using the classroom object-oriented language, we have the formal definition for COOL, it is:
Can we just use Jison to create a parser?
Gecko:
Yeah a GUI for the parser is available on JISON Debugger.
You can either paste a Bison syntax definition of the COOL language or compile the parser on the github repository linked above, CLI = GUI?
Trio: That simple, a scanner and a parser, and a graphical tree output and a JSON dump. Can we convert this JSON to DOM or XML, maybe XML to code generate and optimize, or the JSON itself.
Gecko: The JSON is persisted and scanned to a backend map, I can author to ready code? A ready compiler? Proving the Code like a Droid approach, all we need to learn are the CFG grammars?
