I have just released the fourth (of 5) lectures of my first year lectures on C Tools, building a toolbox of useful tools, and the craft skills to use them effectively, in order to make C programming easier.

This fourth lecture covers a single main topic:

Making Code Generators for little languages easier to build - by using parser generator and lexer generator tools (eg. the combination of Yacc/Bison, Lex/Flex, and datadec for Abstract Syntax Trees).

Here are the lecture materials (slides and associated examples - of which there are many):

Here are the full size lecture notes (PDF), ie. with one slide per page.

Here are the 4-up lecture notes (PDF), ie. with 4 slides per page.

And here's the C Tools tarball, as a gzipped tar file:

Download this into your home directory,
Then extract the contents via: tar xzf c-tools-lecture4.tgz
This creates a directory called c-tools-lecture4
Explore the c-tools-lecture4 directory, I suggest you start with the top level README and Makefile.

Here are the 2 videos in Panopto:
