We are happy to announce that the following paper has been accepted for publication at the 13th Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE 2008) that will take place at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain, from June 30th to July 2nd, 2008. Akim Demaille, Roland Levillain and Benoît Perrot A Set of Tools to Teach Compiler Construction http://publis.lrde.epita.fr/200806-ITICSE Compiler construction is a widely used software engineering exercise, but because most students will not be compiler writers, care must be taken to make it relevant in a core curriculum. Auxiliary tools, such as generators and interpreters, often hinder the learning: students have to fight tool idiosyncrasies, mysterious errors, and other poorly educative issues. We introduce a set of tools especially designed or improved for compiler construction educative projects in C++. We also provide suggestions about new approaches to compiler construction. We draw guidelines from our experience to make tools suitable for education purposes.
