Le papier suivant a été accepté. Making Compiler Construction Projects Relevant to Core Curriculums. http://publis.lrde.epita.fr/200506-ITICSE 10th Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education http://www.iticse05.unl.pt/ Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal June 27-29, 2005 Having 300 students a year implement a compiler is very questionable, since the industry will certainly not recruit them for this competence, yet we made that decision five years ago, for reasons not related to compiler construction. We detail these motivations, the resulting compiler design, and how we implemented this. The project meets its goals, since the majority of former students invariably refer to it as the project that taught them the most.
