An assessment of the XR project for compiler development and transportation
Lu Ru Qian, Wei Zi Chu · Software Practice and Experience · 1983
Abstract A software engineering project, the XR project, is described, and its results assessed. The goal of the XR project is to contribute to the mechanical development and transportation of compilers on widely used Chinese‐made computers. The basic tools are the compiler writing language XHY and the intermediate language CJY. All the compilers are written in XHY and produce code in CJY form. In this paper, experiences, statistics and lessons of practising this project are given, together with an overview and a conclusion.
