Compiler Design Course
This course teaches building and optimizing a clean SSA-style intermediate representation for compilers, covering grammar definition, static semantics, IR translation, and optimizations like constant folding and dead code elimination, with comparisons to LLVM and GCC.

What will I learn?
This concise Compiler Design Course walks you through building and optimising a clean SSA-style intermediate representation. You will define a small language grammar, enforce static semantics and type rules, translate control flow into IR, and manually lower a sample function. Then you apply real optimisation passes like constant folding, dead code elimination, loop optimisations, and compare your IR to LLVM and GCC for practical insight.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design SSA-style IR: build clean, typed three-address code fast.
- Implement classic optimisations: fold constants, kill dead code, hoist loops.
- Translate control flow to IR: blocks, branches, loops, and phi nodes.
- Enforce static semantics: precise type checks, scopes, and diagnostics.
- Connect MiniSys IR to LLVM-style backends for real-world performance.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of interest without needing to change platforms... I'm grateful for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.
