EWVM, a Web Virtual Machine to Support Code Generation in Compiler Courses Teixeira, Sofia Ramalho, José Carlos Henriques, Pedro Rangel Virtual Machine Stack Machine Assembler Debugger Compiler Code Generation This paper describes a project which goal is to analyze and model a complete Virtual stack Machine (VM) environment and build a Web application with a graphical interface to deploy an environment to compile and execute VM programs. The new tool offers two main features: assembles and reports errors in programs written in the assembly language of the Virtual Machine; and animates the execution of the compiled code, displaying the internal state of the VM and providing an interface to control the execution step-by-step. In the paper, after discussing related concepts and works, a proposal to build such a tool, so far called EWVM, will be presented along the architecture drawn. A prototype will be shown, and its impact as an educational tool is argued.
