\section*{Project Topic}

The primary goal of this project is to gain familiarity with \texttt{LLVM}. The proposal is to create an implementation for compiling MiniJava to the \texttt{LLVM} runtime IR. The basis for the starting framework will be the MiniJava application used in CS321/322. The compiler starter framework was provided by Professor Mark Jones. The MiniJava project currently includes options for running as an interpreter or compiling to x86 code.

Proposed project flow:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Convert base MiniJava to \texttt{LLVM} IR.

MiniJava already requires (among other things):

\begin{itemize}

\item Classes, Variables, Statements, Loops, Branches, etc.

\item Arrays

\item Object Methods/Fields

\item Static Methods/Fields

\item Dynamic Dispatch (polymorphic methods)

\end{itemize}

\item Extend MiniJava to a larger subset of Java

\begin{itemize}

\item Interfaces

% I feel like there should be more here

% but MiniJava already seems to have a lot

% of base requirements.

\end{itemize}

\item \texttt{LLVM} Garbage Collection

\end{enumerate}

\section*{Deliverables}

The project deliverables will be a summary of the work, highlights of knowledge gained from implementation, the completed compiler as Java source code and unit tests indicating correct operations for language construct snippets.

\section*{Materials}

The following tools will be used to implement this project. Note: Some of these tools have alternates that could be used if the specified tool prove unsuitable (e.g. using \texttt{llvm-j} instead of \texttt{jllvm}).

\begin{description}

\item[MiniJava Compiler]

The MiniJava Compiler (\texttt{MJC}) from CS321/322 will be considered the base version of the language MiniJava with further extensions added as required.

\item[LLVM]\footnote{http://llvm.org/} The target compiler for the generated IR for MiniJava.

\item[jllvm]\footnote{https://code.google.com/p/jllvm}

Java bindings to \texttt{LLVM}, which allow direct interaction with \texttt{LLVM}.
