Translator writing system for minicomputers.
Jake Madderom · cIRcle (University of British Columbia) · 2011
Some portions of real-time computer process control software can be programmed with special purpose high-level languages. A translator writing system for minicomputers is developed to aid in writing translators for those languages. The translator writing system uses an LR(1) grammar analyzer with an LR(1) skeleton parser. XPL is used as the source language for the semantics. An XPL to intermediate language translator has been written to aid in the translation of XPL programs to minicomputer assembly language. A simple macro generator must be written to translate intermediate language programs into various minicomputer assembly languages.
