Abstract

The heart of the analysis phase of the compiler is the syntax analyser. It takes a stream of lexical tokens from the lexical analyser and groups them together according to the rules of the language, thus determining the syntactic structure of the compiler’s input. The syntax analyser creates data structures reflecting this syntactic structure and then it is up to later phases of compilation to traverse these structures and finally to generate target code.
