Compiler Construction Prof. Dr. Sebastian Hack Core Lecture (9 CP), Wintersemester 2018/19

After the project competition deadline last Friday, the results of the competition are now available: 

We congratulate the Hackberries team for winning the competition!

As a reminder for the project meetings doodle: please enter your possible time slots until this evening if you have not yet done this by now so that we can choose the assignment tomorrow.

The final project meetings will take place from Wednesday, Feb 13, until Friday, Feb 15, in room 401, E1 3.

Please use this doodle to mark all time slots in which your entire group is available for the meeting. We will do the final assignment from groups to time slots next week Tuesday, so make sure to enter your choices until Monday, Feb 4, 23:59. For each group, there should be one entry in the doodle stating all possible time slots. The presence of all group members is mandatory.

In the project meeting, your group will present your compiler to us. All members of the group should be familiar with the implementation. Make sure that you have at least one working laptop with the final version of your compiler with you at the meeting. You do not need to prepare slides.

The relevant benchmark programs are now available (as benchmark01 - 05) in the backend category of the daily tests. You have to pass these until Friday, Feb 1, to be qualified for the competition.

Please also note that with both command line flags that were introduced for the competition, you should preserve functional correctness of your compiler, i.e. skipping parts of the syntactic or semantic analysis for faster compile time is a reason for disqualification from the competition. The same holds for using any built-in LLVM analysis or transformation other than mem2reg.

Please note the following announcements:

• The final deadline for the projects has been extended by a week until February 8.
• There is information about the project competition available in the Materials section. The competition is not affected by the above deadline extension and will be based on the state on February 1.
• There will be no exercise sheet released this week, you are encouraged to work on your project instead.
• Next week Thursday, on January 24, instead of tutorials there will be an office hour from 12 to 14 in SR015, E1 3.

Please note the following information about the exam registration in the university's management system. Local Computer Science students (i.e. not Erasmus students) have to register there additionally to our system for the exams that they want to take. 

The exam registration for Core lectures and Advanced lectures are possible until one week before the main exam or the re-exam at the latest. You have to register for the main exam and/or for the re-exam separately.  Please note: Main exam and re-exam will be counted as two examination attempts. A delayed exam registration by the study coordination is not possible because of the short period before the exam!
Please note, that those who have not subscribed to an exam, cannot take part in it.
A withdrawal is possible one week before the main exam or before the re-exam at the latest, otherwise the exam is failed.

In case of problems with the exam registration please contact the study coordination: studium@cs.uni-saarland.de in time.

The nightly project tests for the lexer have started, you can see your progress on this website (now also available in the CMS's Information menu). If you did not create your group and project in the GitLab until last night, entries for your group will start to show up for the next test runs.
