We're continuing our webinar series on building your own programming language in C++!
In the previous session, we introduced variables — they could be declared, reference one another, and were resolved through a global hash table. Now it's time to add one of the core building blocks of any language: functions.
Implementing functions is really a story about scopes and name resolution. We'll explore how identifiers are looked up across different scope levels: the global scope, function scopes with their own variables, and nested local scopes inside function bodies. What happens when the same variable name exists in multiple scopes? How does the compiler determine which one to use?
In this webinar, our speaker Yuri will walk through the implementation step by step, demonstrating how functions, scopes, and symbol lookup are built in code using C++. Along the way, you'll gain a deeper understanding of one of the fundamental mechanisms behind modern programming languages.
Join us live to dive deeper into compiler design, ask your questions, and build a programming language from scratch together.
The series is aimed at developers who want to go beyond just using languages and start understanding how they're built. Whether you've been with us from the beginning or are jumping in now, this is a great place to start.
