Which of the following describes a handle (as applicable to LR-parsing) appropriately?

It is the position in a sentential form where the next shift or reduce operation will occur

It is non-terminal whose production will be used for reduction in the next step

It is a production that may be used for reduction in a future step along with a position in the sentential form where the next shift or reduce operation will occur

It is the production p that will be used for reduction in the next step along with a position in the sentential form where the right hand side of the production may be found

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.6

Which of the following are true?

I. A programming language which does not permit global variables of any kind and has no nesting of procedures/functions, but permits recursion can be implemented with static storage allocation

II. Multi-level access link (or display) arrangement is needed to arrange activation records only if the programming language being implemented has nesting of procedures/functions

III. Recursion in programming languages cannot be implemented with dynamic storage allocation

IV. Nesting procedures/functions and recursion require a dynamic heap allocation scheme and cannot be implemented with a stack-based allocation scheme for activation records

V. Programming languages which permit a function to return a function as its result cannot be implemented with a stack-based storage allocation scheme for activation records

An LALR(1) parser for a grammar G can have shift-reduce (S-R) conflicts if and only if

The SLR(1) parser for G has S - R conflicts

The LR(1) parser for G has S - R conflicts

The LR(0) parser for G has S - R conflicts

The LALR(1) parser for G has reduce-reduce conflicts

GATE CSE 2008

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

Some code optimizations are carried out on the intermediate code because

They enhance the portability of the compiler to other target processors

Program analysis is more accurate on intermediate code than on machine code

The information from dataflow analysis cannot otherwise be used for optimization

The information from the front end cannot otherwise be used for optimization
