Sammanfattning
When working as teaching assistants in the Real-time Systems courses on Chalmers,
it was noticed that a significant amount of students find machine-oriented programming
difficult to grasp. Therefore, the main purpose of this project has been to
create an alternative way for students to understand the process of Real-time systems,
by developing a new object-oriented language. This language is structured
with classes and objects, much like Java and C++. It can be seen as a simplified,
object-oriented version of the programming language C. In the development of the
product, the language processing chain was followed, by utilizing tools like Flex
and Bison. The resulting program, a transpiler, translates from the new language
into the language C. This transpiler was integrated into CodeLite, which is the Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) used in the labs. This integration was
made to ensure easy usage. The finished product is beneficial for students who are
more familiar with object-oriented programming, as they would not have to consider
the machine-oriented aspects of the labs. Hence, this would increase the number
of students understanding real-time systems, since they would face less obstacles
during the course.
