Introduction

This project consists of implementing a simple compiler for the so called LITTLE programming language. The LITTLE language is a toy programming language designed solely for this course and it's based (however different!) on the MICRO language described in the course text book.

The project is divided into the following steps:

Step6 - Register Allocation (100 points) Due on: Monday, December 1 (Only for 495S students)
Step6 - Liveness Analysis (100 points) (Only for 573 students)
Final - Full Compiler  (70% of total project grade) Due on: Monday, December 8

Grading policy: All the points from the first 6 steps add up to 600 points and are worth total 30% of the project's total grade. The step 7 is worth 70% of the project's grade.
