A transportable extendable compiler
Victor Robert Basili, Albert J. Turner · Software Practice and Experience · 1975
Abstract This report describes the development of a transportable extendable self‐compiler for the language SIMPL‐T. SIMPL‐T is designed as the base language for a family of languages. The structure of the SIMPL‐T compiler and its transportable bootstrap are described. In addition, the procedures for generating a compiler for a new machine and for boot‐strapping the new compiler on to the new machine are demonstrated.
