Ob jectives.
- Become familiar with the CLEmitter, an abstraction for generating JVM bytecode.
- Extend the base j– language by adding some basic Java operations (on primitive integers) to the language. Supporting these operations requires studying the j– compiler in its entirety, if only cursorily, and then making slight modifications to it. Notice that many of the operations have different levels of precedence, just as * has a different level of precedence in j– than does +. These levels of precedence are captured in the Java grammar (see Appendix C of our text); for example, the parser uses one method to parse expressions involving * and /, and another to parse expressions involving + and -.
Download and Test the j– Compiler.
Download and unzip the base j– compiler under some directory (we’ll refer to this directory as $j). See Appendix A for
information on what’s in the j– distribution.
Run the following command inside the $j directory to compile the j– compiler.
$ ant clean compile jar
Run the following command to compile a j– program P.java using the j– compiler, which produces the JVM target program P.class.
$ sh $j/j–/bin/j– P.java
Run the following command to run P.class. $ java P
Problem 1. (Using CLEmitter) Consider the following program IsPrime.java that receives an integer n as command-line argument and prints whether or not n is a prime number.
// IsPrime.java |
public class IsPrime { |
private static boolean isPrime(int n) { if (n < 2) { |
return false; } |
for (int i = 2; i < n / i; i++) { if (n % i == 0) { |
return false; } |
} |
} |
// Entry point. public static void main(String[] args) { |
int n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); boolean result = isPrime(n); |
if (result) { |
} |
System.out.println(n + ” is not a prime number”); } |
} } |
Using programs under $j/j–/tests/clemitter as a guide, complete the implementation of the program GenIsPrime.java that uses the CLEmitter interface to programmatically generate IsPrime.class, ie, the JVM bytecode for the program IsPrime.java above.

Files to Submit
1. GenIsPrime.java (CLEmitter program that generates IsPrime.class) 2. j–.zip (j– source tree as a single zip file)
3. report.txt (project report)
$ $j/j–/bin/j– tests/UnaryPlus.java |

Before you submit:
• Make sure you create the zip file j–.zip such that it only includes the source files and not the binaries, which can be done on the terminal as follows:
• Make sure your report isn’t too verbose, doesn’t contain lines that exceed 80 characters, and doesn’t contain spelling/grammatical mistakes
$ cd $j/j– |
$ ant clean $ cd .. |
$ tar -cvf j–.tar j–/* $ gzip j–.tar |
