Resources

• MiniJava project web page; MiniJava grammar
• CSE Virtual Machines
• JFlex lexical analyzer generator and CUP LALR parser generator (including manuals for JFlex and CUP). We suggest using v11a of CUP since that allows Java generic types in semantic actions. JFlex and this version of CUP are included in the starter code.
• The Java Language Specification from Sun, including a LALR(1) grammar for full Java. Check here if you're not sure how something should work.
• x86-64 resources:
  • 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.)
  • x86-64 Instructions and ABI (handout for University of Chicago CMSC 22620 by John Reppy)
  • AMD64
    • AMD64 System V Application Binary Interface (used by Linux, OS X)
    • Gentle Introduction to x86-64 Assembly
  • Microsoft x64 Software Conventions
• Intel processor documentation
• Gnu assembler documentation (x86 and x86-64 details, at&t vs Intel syntax)
