ABACUS/X an incremental compiler for minicomputer use
David L. Fulton, Richard T. Thomas · ACM SIGMINI Newsletter · 1976
This paper describes an incremental compiler which has been developed for use on minicomputers. The language which it accepts, ABACUS/X, is described, as is overall system operation. The internal workings of the compiler are discussed, along with the methods developed to minimize the memory space problems inherent in the use of incremental compilers. Speed and space comparisons are included for some benchmark programs.
