Key Highlights
Project Journey
Situation
Background & Context
Understanding assembly language and compiler design is fundamental for computer science education. The SIC/XE instruction set provides an ideal learning platform for assembly concepts due to its well-documented specifications.
Task
Goals & Objectives
Implement a complete two-pass assembler in C for the SIC/XE instruction set. The assembler needed to correctly handle symbol tables, generate intermediate code, and produce executable output.
Action
What I Did
- Studied SIC/XE instruction set specifications thoroughly
- Designed efficient two-pass assembly process architecture
- Implemented proper symbol table management
- Developed intermediate code generation and handling
- Built comprehensive error detection and reporting
Result
Outcomes & Impact
Successfully implemented a complete, working two-pass assembler with proper error handling. Enhanced understanding of assembly language fundamentals and compiler design principles applicable to modern development.
