Description

The fourth project involves modifying the semantic analyzer for the attached compiler by adding checks for semantic errors. The static semantic rules of this language are the following: Variables and parameter names have local scope. The scope rules require that all names be declared and prohibit duplicate names within the same scope. The type correspondence rules are as follows:

 Boolean expressions cannot be used with arithmetic or relational operators. 

 Arithmetic expressions cannot be used with logical operators. 

 Reductions can only contain numeric types. 

 Only integer operands can be used with the remainder operator. 

 The two statements in an if statement must match in type. No coercion is performed. 

 All the statements in a case statement must match in type. No coercion is performed. 

 The type of the if expression must be Boolean. 

 The type of the case expression must be Integer 

 A narrowing variable initialization or function return occurs when a real value is being forced into integer. Widening is permitted. 

 Boolean types cannot be mixed with numeric types in variable initializations or function returns.
