MiniJava grammar
CSE GitLab
git book - detailed info
Apache ant project build tool (download)
JFlex lexical analyzer generator and CUP LALR parser generator (including manuals for JFlex and CUP). Current versions of the JFlex and CUP executable code are included in the starter project. Feel free to download the full distributions if you wish to examine additional files for reference.
The Java Language Specification, including a LALR(1) grammar for full Java. Check here if you're not sure how something should work.
CSE Virtual Machines (useful for testing generated code on personal x86-64 machines)
x86-64 resources:
- x86-64 Instructions and ABI (handout for University of Chicago CMSC 22620 by John Reppy)
- x86-64 Machine Level Programming by Bryant and O'Hallaron (CMU; earlier version of Sec. 3.13 of Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 2nd ed.)
- Bryant/O'Hallaron CSE 351 textbook web site (links to various x86/x86-64 resources)
  - gdb summary (direct link)
    - One they didn't include: display/i $ripwill show you the next instruction every time you step or reach a breakpoint.
  - SSE floating point
- gdb documentation
  - reference card (direct link)
Intel processor documentation. (undoubtedly more than you want to know)
Gnu assembler documentation (x86 and x86-64 details, at&t vs Intel syntax)

There are several MiniJava test programs included in our project starter code. See the subdirectory SamplePrograms in your git repository.
