CS 164: Programming Assignment 3

Note: Users running Windows should replace the colon (:) with a semicolon (;) in the classpath argument for all command listed below.

Getting started

Run the following command to build your compiler, and then run all the provided tests:

mvn clean package

java -cp "chocopy-ref.jar:target/assignment.jar" chocopy.ChocoPy --pass=..s --run --dir src/test/data/pa3/sample/ --test

In the starter code, only one test should pass. Your objective is to implement a code generator that passes all the provided tests and meets the assignment specifications.

Generating assembly files

You can also run the code generator on one input file at at time. In general, running the code generator on a ChocoPy program is a three-step process.

First, run the reference parser to get an AST JSON:

java -cp "chocopy-ref.jar:target/assignment.jar" chocopy.ChocoPy --pass=r <chocopy_input_file> --out <ast_json_file>

Second, run the reference analysis on the AST JSON to get a typed AST JSON:

java -cp "chocopy-ref.jar:target/assignment.jar" chocopy.ChocoPy --pass=.r <ast_json_file> --out <typed_ast_json_file>

Third, run your code generator on the typed AST JSON to get a RISC-V assembly file:

java -cp "chocopy-ref.jar:target/assignment.jar" chocopy.ChocoPy --pass=..s <typed_ast_json_file> --out <assembly_file>

The src/tests/data/pa3/sample directory already contains the typed AST JSONs for the test programs (with extension .out.typed); therefore, you can skip the first two steps for the sample test programs.

Executing an assembly program using the Venus simulator

To run a generated RISC-V program in the Venus-164 execution environment, run:

java -cp "chocopy-ref.jar:target/assignment.jar" chocopy.ChocoPy --run <assembly_file>

Chained commands

For quick development, you can chain all the stages to directly execute a ChocoPy program:

java -cp "chocopy-ref.jar:target/assignment.jar" chocopy.ChocoPy --pass=rrs --run <chocopy_input_file>

You can omit the --run in the above chain to print the generated assembly program instead of executing it.

Running the reference implementation

To observe the output of the reference implementation of the code generator, replace --pass=rrs with --pass=rrr in any command where applicable.

Assignment specifications

See the PA3 specification on the course website for a detailed specification of the assignment.

Refer to the ChocoPy Specification on the CS164 web site for the specification of the ChocoPy language.

Refer to the ChocoPy Implementation Guide on the CS164 web site for the conventions used by the reference compiler and the starter code.
