Educational programming language for compiler construction teaching
EPlan is used to teach compilation techniques to undergraduate students at Universidade Federal de Ouro. The language specification starts with a very minimal kernel and grows with new features as new techniques are learnt.
Tags will be used to give access to each important stage of the compiler implementation.
The lexical analyser (also called scanner) is built with the help of JFlex.
The lexical specification of the language is saved in a text file
(lexer.jflex) which is given to JFlex to generate the lexical
analyser. JFlex can be run with the command below given on a terminal:
$ cd src
$ jflex lexer.jflex
