DevCon 2010 - Registration - status

Sreejumon — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:44:05 GMT

Hi,

We are planning to start the registration on Monday (14th), and it will be done on batches. For example, we will be releasing X amounts of seats on Monday, and the rest of the seats on different days. If you would like to register for the DevCon 2010, its worth tracking this thread. We will be posting the details of the registration here in this thread.

During our past events, many people couldn't get the seats because all seats filled soon after we open the registration. This time we plan to split the registration on different days, and those details will be posted here. Even if you are not available on one day, you get chance to register on some other day (if you keep watching this space).

SLANG4.net - Full version is available online...

SOCM_FP_CPP — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:03:44 GMT

Hi all ,

At the community tech day event @ kochi , i am presenting a session called Write Your Own .net compiler. I created a simple

procedural language for this called SLANG. I have hosted a project @ http://slangfordotnet.codeplex.com

The compiler is written in stages and so far , 7 stages are online. I will be talking about the architecture , internals of the

compiler. A PDF (work in progress ) which contains the detailed documentation is available in the zip bundle.

The Formal Grammar for SLANG at this point of time is as follows

<Module> ::= {<Procedure>}+;
<Procedure>::= FUNCTION <type> func_name ‘(‘ arglist ‘)’
<stmts>
END
<type> := NUMERIC | STRING | BOOLEAN
arglist ::= '(' {} ')' | '(' <type> arg_name [, arglist ] ')'
<stmts> := { stmt }+
{stmt} := <vardeclstmt> | <printstmt>|<printlnstmt>
<assignmentstmt>|<callstmt>|<ifstmt>|
<whilestmt> | <returnstmt>
<vardeclstmt> ::= <type> var_name;
<printstmt> := PRINT <expr>;
<assignmentstmt>:= <variable> = value;
<ifstmt>::= IF <expr> THEN <stmts> [ ELSE <stmts> ] ENDIF
<whilestmt>::= WHILE <expr> <stmts> WEND
<returnstmt>:= Return <expr>
<expr> ::= <BExpr>
<BExpr> ::= <LExpr> LOGIC_OP <BExpr>
<LExpr> ::= <RExpr> REL_OP <LExpr>
<RExpr> ::= <Term> ADD_OP <RExpr>
<Term>::= <Factor> MUL_OP <Term>
<Factor> ::= <Numeric> | <String> | TRUE | FALSE | <variable> | ‘(‘ <expr> ‘)’ | {+|-|!}
<Factor> | <callexpr>
<callexpr> ::= funcname ‘(‘ actuals ‘)’
<LOGIC_OP> := '&&' | ‘||’
<REL_OP> := '>' |' < '|' >=' |' <=' |' <>' |' =='
<MUL_OP> := '*' |' /'
<ADD_OP> := '+' |' -'

Here are some sample programs according to the above grammar

HelloWorld.sl
///////////////////////
// Helloworld.sl
// Hello World Program
//
FUNCTION BOOLEAN MAIN()
PRINT "Hello World";
END

onetohundred.sl
//////////////////////////////
// onetohundred.sl
// Program to Print One To Hundred
// STEP 7 and above
// FUNCTION BOOLEAN MAIN()
NUMERIC d;
d=0;
While ( d <= 100 )
PRINTLINE d;
d = d+1;
Wend
END

Quad.sl

---------

/////////////////////////////////////
//
// Function to compute Discriminant in a
// Quadratic equation...
//
FUNCTION NUMERIC Quad( NUMERIC a , NUMERIC b , NUMERIC c )
NUMERIC n;
n = b*b - 4*a*c;
IF ( n < 0 ) THEN
return 0;
ELSE
IF ( n == 0 ) THEN
return 1;
ELSE
return 2;
ENDIF
ENDIF
return 0;
END
FUNCTION BOOLEAN MAIN()
NUMERIC d;
d= Quad(1,0-6,9);
IF ( d == 0 ) then
PRINT "No Roots";
ELSE
IF ( d == 1 ) then
PRINT "Discriminant is zero";
ELSE
PRINT "Two roots are available";
ENDIF
ENDIF
END
////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// A simple Slang Script ...can only run with
// STEP 7 or above
//
// This code will print Fibonacci series between 1
// and 1000
FUNCTION BOOLEAN MAIN()
NUMERIC newterm;
NUMERIC prevterm;
NUMERIC currterm;
currterm = 1;
prevterm = 0;
newterm = currterm + prevterm;
PrintLine newterm;
while ( newterm < 1000 )
prevterm = currterm;
currterm = newterm;
newterm = currterm + prevterm;
PrintLine newterm;
wend
END
/////////////////////////////////
//
// Recursive Fibonacci series routine
//
//
FUNCTION NUMERIC FIB( NUMERIC n )
IF ( n <= 1 ) then
return 1;
ELSE
RETURN FIB(n-1) + FIB(n-2);
ENDIF
END
/////////////////////////////////////////
//
//
// Main routine
//
//
FUNCTION BOOLEAN MAIN()
NUMERIC d;
d=0;
While ( d <= 10 )
PRINTLINE FIB(d);
d = d+1;
Wend
END

Fact.sl

------

////////////////////
//
// Recursive Routine to Print Factorial of a number
//
// STEP 7 and above ...test case for recursion ...
//
FUNCTION NUMERIC FACT( NUMERIC d )
IF ( d <= 0 ) THEN
return 1;
ELSE
return d*FACT(d-1);
ENDIF
END
////////////////////
//
//
// Entry Point
//
// FUNCTION BOOLEAN MAIN()
NUMERIC d;
d=0;
While ( d <= 10 )
PRINTLINE FACT(d);
d = d+1;
Wend
END

The Compiler/Interpreter can be used as follows... Copy all the scripts to a particular
directory...copy the Slanginterpret.exe and SlangCompile.exe to the same folder. Go to Visual
studio command prompt

To compile scripts to .net executable

-----------------------------------------

SLANGCOMPILE <scriptname>

This will produce first.exe ... you can execute the file by typing first.exe at the command
prompt.

Eg :-

SlangCompile onetohundred.sl
SlangCompile Fibrec.sl

To interpret the script

-------------------------

SLANGINTERPRET <scriptname>

The above scripts have run successfully. There might be some bugs in the code...that is
given as a HOMEWORK for you. !!!!!!

regards

Praseed Pai
