Hi,
    Abhaya and Avinash, you take control of the assignment scheduled to be
submitted on March 10, ie, playing with switch-case, and reconstruction of
stack.

    It may just be a theoretical framework of how will we do in the final
release, but make a logical / functional algorithm to do the same. I think,
unless we have the IL code generation in proper place, this step will only be of
theoretical interest.

    As Gopal said, switch case is working fine. You will just have to take care
of the jumps. For the stack-revaluation case, you will need to first extract the
number of parameters and number of local variables used. Note that java does not
differentiate, in notations, between parameters and local-variables, while IL
has ld/st-arg.N and ld/st-loc.N respectively. Get to know the count and types of
them make a flowchart / STG describing the procedure on how to do it, so that we
can directly transform it to the code.
    Gopal will be able to give you more inputs to the same.

    I am right now too much screwed up with term-projects and BTP and a mid-sem.
Progress on IL-code generation is not going in full swing - not even to the
extend that I planned to have. Anyway, I'll get everything going fine within
some time.


Cheers,
