Common Compiler Infrastructure: Compiler Writer’S Perspective Common Compiler Infrastructure: Compiler Writer’s Perspective Eugene A. Zueff, Institute for Computer Systems, ETH Zürich [email protected] June 26th, 2003 Talk Overview • CCI Framework: What is it and what is it for? • CCI Architecture, Major Components & Features: An Overview. • CCI Intermediate Representation. • IR Transformation: Visitors. • CCI Compilation Model & Integration Issues. • Example: A CCI-based Zonnon Compiler • Current State & Conclusion 2 CCI at a Glance • CCI = Common Compiler Infrastructure. • Technically, CCI is a set of resources (classes) providing support for implementing compilers and other language tools for .NET platform Compiler implementation Compiler integration • Conceptually, CCI is a part of the .NET Framework SDK 3 CCI at a Glance (2) VSIP Add-Ins Macros VS.NET 3+ CCI at a Glance (2) CCI BabelService VSIP Add-Ins Macros VS.NET 3+ CCI: Possible Scenarios • Integrate an existing (“non-CCI”) compiler into VS.NET. • Develop a completely CCI-based compiler and integrate it into Visual Studio .NET. • Extend existing .NET languages & compilers (C#, VB etc.). • Develop post-compilation tools. • Develop “toy” compilers (either command- line or VS-integrated) for educational purposes! 4 CCI: Three Major Concerns •(Common Concern) Developing compilers is a challenging task; integration brings a lot of additional issues. •(CCI Concern) CCI implements a radically different (non-conventional) view at compilation process. •(Technical Concern) CCI has wide and non-trivial interface, rules and contracts. 5 CCI Major Parts Intermediate Representation (IR) A rich hierarchy of C# classes representing most common and typical notions of modern programming languages. System.Compiler.dll Transformers (“Visitors”) A set of classes performing consecutive transformations IR ⇒ MSIL System.Compiler.Framework.dll Integration Service Variety of classes and methods providing integration to Visual Studio environment (additional functionality required for editing, debugging, background compilation etc.) 6 CCI Way of Use: Principles Common principles of using CCI: CCI services are represented as classes. In order to make use of them compiler writer should define classes inherited from CCI ones. Derived classes should implement some abstract methods declared in the base classes (they compose a “unified interface” with the environment) Derived classes may (and typically do) also implement some language-specific functionality. 7 CCI Way of Use: Parser Example Prototype parser: using System.Compiler; abstract class from CCI namespace ZLanguageCompiler { public sealed class ZParser : System.Compiler.Parser { public override ... ParseCompilationUnit(...) { l l . a } C private ... ParseZModule(...) { . Parser’s “unified interface”: } } implementation of the } interface between Z parser’s own logic Z compiler and environment 8 CCI Intermediate Representation (1) The Central Part of CCI Classes representing Example: a C# class all language concepts public class C supported by CLI { public int m1; public void f ( ) { m1=0; } } Field Class Name Identifier Name Flags Identifier Members Type Int32 Assignment- ... Statement Method … ... Name Block … Identifier ... Flags Statements Void Type Body ... 9 CCI Intermediate Representation (2) Node Node A part of IR Expression Member UnaryExpression TypeNode inheritance tree BinaryExpression Class NaryExpression DelegateNode MethodCall EnumNode Indexer Interface AssignmentExpression . Literal TypeParameter Parameter Pointer This Reference Statement Event AssignmentStatement Method If InstanceInitializer For StaticInitializer ForEach Field Continue Property ExpressionStatement Namespace VariableDeclaration CompilationUnit 10 CCI Intermediate Representation (3) Example: Some Features: public class If : Statement Rather straightforward { approach. Expression condition; Block falseBlock; Very much similar to Block trueBlock; C# concept hierarchy. } Supports some non-C# features (assignment public class Block : Statement statements etc). { bool hasLocals; Supports some future StatementList statements; C# features (generics). } Suitable enough for representing a great number of other languages. 11 CCI Intermediate Representation (4) “Zero cost” approach: How to use IR classes Just take (a subset of) it as it is. - For relatively simple languages which are fully CLI-compliant (and therefore completely “covered” by IR classes). ”Standard” approach: Extend (some of them) adding own functionality if necessary (in a usual OO manner). - “Golden mean”: for most cases. ”Radical” approach: Create your own hierarchy providing means for converting its nodes to semantically equivalent IR nodes/sub-trees. - For complex languages and/or languages with completely different paradigms. 12 IR Transformation: Visitors (1) StandardVisitor Every visitor walks an IR… Looker …replacing Identifier nodes with Declarer the members/locals they resolve to; Resolver …resolving overloads and deducing expression result types; …checking for semantic errors Checker and repairing it so that subsequent walks need not do error checking; Normalizer …preparing an IR for serializing to IL+MD. • It’s possible to modify standard visitors and/or… • Write own visitors replacing a standard one! 13 IR Transformation: Visitors (2) Overall scheme for IR processing Prototype “compiler”: abstract CCI class public class ZCompiler : System.Compiler.Compiler, ... { . protected override void Compile ( CompilationUnit cu, Class globalScope, ErrorNodeList errors ) { // Walk IR looking up names IR nodes (new Looker(globalScope)).VisitCompilationUnit(cu); // Walk IR inferring types and resolving overloads (new Resolver()).VisitCompilationUnit(cu); // Walk IR checking for semantic errors and repairing it (new Checker(errors)).VisitCompilationUnit(cu); // Walk IR reducing it to predefined mappings to MD+IL (new Normalizer().VisitCompilationUnit(cu); } . } Visitors 14 CCI Compilation Model IL/MD Writer OutputOutput Source MSIL+MD Source IR AssemblyAssembly (AST) IL/MD Scanner Visitors & Reader Parser ImportedImported AssembliesAssemblies Language specific Common to all languages 15 Compiler Integration: Traditional Approach Source File Name Compilation Params Compiler Start Up Environment Compiler Syntactic & Code Source Lexical Sequence Program Genera- Object Code Semantic Code Analysis of Tokens Analysis Tree tion Compiler End Up Compiler as a “Black File with Object Code Box” Program Diagnostic Messages 16 What Does Integration Assume? (1) Visual Studio Components Features That Should be Supported by a Compiler • Language sources identification • Syntax Highlighting Project Manager • Automatic text formatting Text Editor • Smart text browsing { Î } • Error checking while typing Semantic Support • Tooltip-like diagnostics & info (“Intellisense”) • Type member lists for classes and variables of class types Debugger • Lists of overloaded methods • Lists of method parameters • Expression evaluation • Conditional breakpoints 17 What Does Integration Assume? (2) Example of “Intellisense” Feature 18 Compiler Integration: CCI Approach (1) Token Document TokenToken Program Tree Object Code Source Code Token Attributes (Assembly) Source Context Token Context Syntactic & Code Lexical Compiler Semantic Genera- Analysis Environment Analysis tion Compiler as a Collection of Resources 19 Compiler integration: CCI Approach (2) Token Document TokenToken Program Tree Source Code Token Attributes Object Code (Assembly) Source Context Token Context Syntactic & Code Lexical Genera- Analysis Semantic Analysis tion Objects Compiler as a Set of Environment Source Text Project Manager “Intellisense” Debugger Editor 20 Compiler Integration: CCI Approach (3) Compilation Phase Some Methods Get Token Lexical Analysis Get Token with Extra Attributes Parse Program Unit Syntactic & Parse Expression Semantic Analysis Parse Statements . 21 A CCI-based Compiler: Zonnon (1) • Zonnon language is a successor of Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon line of languages. • Zonnon preserves the spirit of Oberon being a compact language with a small number of orthogonal basic concepts including: * modularity; * simple but powerful object model; * active object concept. • The first Zonnon implementation is for .NET platform and is based on CCI framework. • The language is designed and implemented in ETH Zürich, Switzerland. 22 A CCI-based Compiler: Zonnon (2) Zonnon compiler integrated into Visual Studio: a screenshot 23 A CCI-based Compiler: Zonnon (3) Zonnon compiler integrated into Visual Studio: a screenshot 24 A CCI-based Compiler: Zonnon (4) Zonnon compiler integrated into Visual Studio: a screenshot 25 A CCI-based Compiler: Zonnon (5) Zonnon compiler integrated into Visual Studio: a screenshot 26 CCI: Current State • (Almost) completely implemented; non-documented. • Since June 12th CCI Toolkit is included into MSDN Academic Alliance: www.msdnaa.net/cci • Zonnon compiler is, perhaps, the first experience in using CCI outside Microsoft. 27 Conclusion Common Compiler Infrastructure seems to be powerful and practically useful framework for developing compilers and language tools for wide range of languages. CCI provides a convenient high-level model for real integration compilers to Visual Studio environment. CCI framework has been chosen as the platform for implementing compiler for the new Zonnon language. 28.

  • The Zonnon Project: a .NET Language and Compiler Experiment
    The Zonnon Project: A .NET Language and Compiler Experiment Jürg Gutknecht Vladimir Romanov Eugene Zueff Swiss Fed Inst of Technology Moscow State University Swiss Fed Inst of Technology (ETH) Computer Science Department (ETH) Zürich, Switzerland Moscow, Russia Zürich, Switzerland [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Zonnon is a new programming language that combines the style and the virtues of the Pascal family with a number of novel programming concepts and constructs. It covers a wide range of programming models from algorithms and data structures to interoperating active objects in a distributed system. In contrast to popular object-oriented languages, Zonnon propagates a symmetric compositional inheritance model. In this paper, we first give a brief overview of the language and then focus on the implementation of the compiler and builder on top of .NET, with a particular emphasis on the use of the MS Common Compiler Infrastructure (CCI). The Zonnon compiler is an interesting showcase for the .NET interoperability platform because it implements a non-trivial but still “natural” mapping from the language’s intrinsic object model to the underlying CLR. Keywords Oberon, Zonnon, Compiler, Common Compiler Infrastructure (CCI), Integration. 1. INTRODUCTION: THE BRIEF CCI and b) to experiment with evolutionary language HISTORY OF THE PROJECT concepts. The notion of active object was taken from the Active Oberon language [Gut01]. In addition, two This is a technical paper presenting and describing new concurrency mechanisms have been added: an the current state of the Zonnon project. Zonnon is an accompanying communication mechanism based on evolution of the Pascal, Modula, Oberon language syntax-oriented protocols , borrowed from the Active line [Wir88].

It has been discussed by many independent persons as long ago as 1954.

  • Programming with Windows Forms
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Programming with Windows Forms Since the release of the .NET platform (circa 2001), the base class libraries have included a particular API named Windows Forms, represented primarily by the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. The Windows Forms toolkit provides the types necessary to build desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), create custom controls, manage resources (e.g., string tables and icons), and perform other desktop- centric programming tasks. In addition, a separate API named GDI+ (represented by the System.Drawing.dll assembly) provides additional types that allow programmers to generate 2D graphics, interact with networked printers, and manipulate image data. The Windows Forms (and GDI+) APIs remain alive and well within the .NET 4.0 platform, and they will exist within the base class library for quite some time (arguably forever). However, Microsoft has shipped a brand new GUI toolkit called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) since the release of .NET 3.0. As you saw in Chapters 27-31, WPF provides a massive amount of horsepower that you can use to build bleeding-edge user interfaces, and it has become the preferred desktop API for today’s .NET graphical user interfaces. The point of this appendix, however, is to provide a tour of the traditional Windows Forms API. One reason it is helpful to understand the original programming model: you can find many existing Windows Forms applications out there that will need to be maintained for some time to come. Also, many desktop GUIs simply might not require the horsepower offered by WPF.

  • Using Powershell and Reflection API to Invoke Methods from .NET
    Using Powershell and Reflection API to invoke methods from .NET Assemblies written by Khai Tran | October 14, 2013 During application assessments, I have stumbled upon several cases when I need to call out a specific function embedded in a .NET assembly (be it .exe or .dll extension). For example, an encrypted database password is found in a configuration file. Using .NET Decompiler, I am able to see and identify the function used to encrypt the database password. The encryption key appears to be static, so if I could call the corresponding decrypt function, I would be able to recover that password. Classic solution: using Visual Studio to create new project, import encryption library, call out that function if it’s public or use .NET Reflection API if it’s private (or just copy the class to the new workspace, change method accessibility modifier to public and call out the function too if it is self-contained). Alternative (and hopeful less-time consuming) solution: Powershell could be used in conjunction with .NET Reflection API to invoke methods directly from the imported assemblies, bypassing the need of an IDE and the grueling process of compiling source code. Requirements Powershell and .NET framework, available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595 Note that Powershell version 3 is used in the below examples, and the assembly is developed in C#. Walkthrough First, identify the fully qualified class name (typically in the form of Namespace.Classname ), method name, accessibility level, member modifier and method arguments. This can easily be done with any available .NET Decompiler (dotPeek, JustDecompile, Reflector) Scenario 1: Public static class – Call public static method namespace AesSample { public class AesLibStatic { ..

  • Diploma Thesis
    Faculty of Computer Science Chair for Real Time Systems Diploma Thesis Porting DotGNU to Embedded Linux Author: Alexander Stein Supervisor: Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Baumgartl Dipl.-Ing. Ronald Sieber Date of Submission: May 15, 2008 Alexander Stein Porting DotGNU to Embedded Linux Diploma Thesis, Chemnitz University of Technology, 2008 Abstract Programming PLC systems is limited by the provided libraries. In contrary, hardware-near programming needs bigger eorts in e. g. initializing the hardware. This work oers a foundation to combine advantages of both development sides. Therefore, Portable.NET from the DotGNU project has been used, which is an im- plementation of CLI, better known as .NET. The target system is the PLCcore- 5484 microcontroller board, developed by SYS TEC electronic GmbH. Built upon the porting, two variants to use interrupt routines withing the Portabe.NET runtime environment have been analyzed. Finally, the reaction times to occuring interrupt events have been examined and compared. Die Programmierung für SPS-Systeme ist durch die gegebenen Bibliotheken beschränkt, während hardwarenahe Programmierung einen gröÿeren Aufwand durch z.B. Initialisierungen hat. Diese Arbeit bietet eine Grundlage, um die Vorteile bei- der Entwicklungsseiten zu kombinieren. Dafür wurde Portable.NET des DotGNU- Projekts, eine Implementierung des CLI, bekannter unter dem Namen .NET, be- nutzt. Das Zielsystem ist das PLCcore-5484 Mikrocontrollerboard der SYS TEC electronic GmbH. Aufbauend auf der Portierung wurden zwei Varianten zur Ein- bindung von Interrupt-Routinen in die Portable.NET Laufzeitumgebung untersucht. Abschlieÿend wurden die Reaktionszeiten zu eintretenden Interrupts analysiert und verglichen. Acknowledgements I would like to thank some persons who had inuence and supported me in my work.
