Jaguar Compiler (Async Tiger Compiler)

The Jaguar Compiler project aims at adding asynchronous support to the Tiger
language.

Project

The project has been done for the PRPA class, (parallel programming). The code
we want to achieve at the end is something similar to this:

let
  var buf := async read(10) /* Asynchronous call */
in                          /* This happens in parallel with the read.       */
  for i := 0 to 300000 do   /* ...                                           */
    ();                     /* ...                                           */
                            /* ...                                           */
  print_int(buf)            /* Here, we wait for the asynchronous call to be */
                            /* finished, and return the value.               */
end

• Tiger Compiler assignments

The sources of the Tiger Compiler itself cannnot be open-sourced, since it
remains an assignment to the EPITA students.

Tiger Compiler

The Tiger Compiler, also called TC, is a project aiming at the implementation
of a Tiger language compiler, in C++.

The compiler implementation is based on the book “Modern Compiler
Implementation” by Andrew W. Appel.

TC compiles Tiger source to:

• x86
• ARM
• MIPS

or LLVM, which allows us to target more architectures.
