Part B
1. Explain the various parameter passing mechanisms of a high level language. [16]
2. Explain about lexical analyzer and its role in detail. [16]
3. Explain the phases of the compiler in detail. Write down the output of each phase for the expression a := b + c * 50. [16]
4. Describe how various phases could be combined as a single pass in a compiler. [16]
5. Write short notes on:
(i) Loaders and Linkers. [8]
(ii) Assemblers. [8]
6.(i)Discuss the compiler construction tools. [8] (ii)Discuss about the Lexical Analyzer and its Role. [8]
7. Explain about Tokens, specification of tokens, recognition of tokens [16]
8. .Explain
i) Functions of lexical Analyzer [8]
ii)Input Buffering technique. [8]
9. Explain i) Types of compiler . [8]
ii) Cousins of compiler. [7]
