The DCode Intermediate Program Representation Reference Manual and Report
K. John Gough · 1993
This document describes the intermediate program representation DCode. The representation is an ASCII format which specifies instructions for an abstract stack machine. Interpretive code generators may process this file to produce object code for various target machines. The semantics of each instruction in the code is explained, and the various directives detailed. This document is intended to serve as a guide for those wishing to create new code generator back-ends for the existing compilers, and for those wishing to create front-ends for a new language for the existing code generators.
