(1) I have great theoretical knowledge of Compiler Theory but never
implemented a project.
(2) 2-3 months of time with me.
(3) Parsing ,Semantic analysis & FSM are my interests.

I am incredibaly good knowledge of Automata Theory.

Given All this and my motivation Please suggest me a Project

Hi,
i want to make a programming language with customizable
sytax with java. Simply i wrote a lexer. But i cannot create
a dynamic parser. If you and anybody want to help me.
We can create a sourceforge project for it.

Okay, a dynamic LEX. LEX is old technology now and there should be a modern
equivalent availiable.

Basically a library that provides the LEX machine behavour that works on a
DFA or set of DFA's generated by a tool from a set of regular expressions
and character equavalence classes or LEX like file. The LEX tool is also
availiable as a dynamic library component, which can work from a file or an
intermediate set of data structures, which can be generated using the
library.

This should ideally be implemented in an object oriented language, ideally
C++.

Direct DFA from RE generation is prefered. Implementation of beginning and
end of line anchors would be good, but lookahead is not really required.

I do not know whether this would fit in your time scales, but a prototype
should.

Regards,

Aaron

Have a look at these project suggestions:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/projects/

If you work on any aspect of the GNU C compiler,
you will get the chance to contribute to the
toolchain which dominates the Unix and Linux world.

Here is one more project with a well-defined
outline; also introducing you to the world of gcc:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/oxygen/

Whatever aspect you are working on, if you get to
know any aspect of gcc in significant depth and
detail, then you have improved your chances to
get a job in the world of compilation.
