Generating MC68000 code for Ada
Hans-Stephan Jansohn, Rudolf Landwehr, Jochen Hayek, Michael Thätner · 1983
We adapted the code generator of the Karlsruhe Ada compiler to produce symbolic MC68000 code. The essential part of the code generator - the code selection phase - is produced automatically by the Code Generator Synthesis System (CGSS) out of a formal description of the target machine. Therefore our main task consisted of writing a Target Machine Description (TMD) for the Motorola MC68000. In this paper we report our experience made in writing the target machine description and in adapting the whole code generator.
