GULP---A compiler-compiler for verbal and graphic languages
Robert John Pankhurst · 1968
The General Utility Language Processor (GULP for short) has to operate interactively in a small machine. Its design has to be radically different from compiler-compilers for general-purpose languages in batch-processing operating systems.1,2,3,5 Except for the processing of interrupts, the processing time is unimportant, provided there is a response from the system within a few seconds. Hence every effort was made to reduce storage requirements, even at the expense of processing time.
