Pascal and comms programming
Jan E. Jonak · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 1985
Complex architectures of specialised processors are not always easily amenable to high level language programming without having to pay high price in terms of poor resources utilisation or lengthy custom language design and compiler development process.This paper describes Pascal-F, an attempt at a minimal modification of the widely accepted language Pascal to achieve close match between source and object code in a specialised communications processor and to make possible transportation of at least some of subsequently developed software to more conventional hardware.
