The Preparation of Guidelines for Portable Programming in High-Level Languages
P. J. L. Wallis · The Computer Journal · 1982
Programming even in a fully standardized high-level language requires great care if portable programs are to result. We review two recent attempts at producing guidelines for portable programming in high-level languages. Areas of particular difficulty, software aids to monitor compliance with projected guidelines, the prospects for enhanced portability of future languages and the form of published guidelines are separately discussed.
