Yet another compiler-compiler

Stephen C. Johnson · 1979

Computer program input generally has some structure; in fact, every computer program that does input can be thought of as defining an ‘‘input language’ ’ which it accepts. An input language may be as complex as a programming language, or as sim-ple as a sequence of numbers. Unfortunately, usual input facilities are limited, difficult to use, and often are lax about checking their inputs for validity. Yacc provides a general tool for describing the input to a computer program. The Yacc user specifies the structures of his input, together with code to be invoked as each such structure is recognized. Yacc turns such a specification into a subroutine that handles the input process; frequently, it is convenient and appropriate to have most of the flow of control in the user’s application handled by this subroutine. The input subroutine produced by Yacc calls a user-supplied routine to return the next basic input item. Thus, the user can specify his input in terms of individual input characters, or in terms of higher level constructs such as names and numbers. The user-supplied routine may also handle idiomatic features such as comment and con-tinuation conventions, which typically defy easy grammatical specification. Yacc is written in portable C. The class of specifications accepted is a very gen-eral one: LALR(1) grammars with disambiguating rules. In addition to compilers for C, APL, Pascal, RATFOR, etc., Yacc has also been used for less conventional languages, including a phototypesetter language, several desk calculator languages, a document retrieval system, and a Fortran debugging sys-tem.

META-T compiler--compiler

Anthony Peter Lucido · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1974

The need for mechanical aids to both the translator definition and implementation phases of translator generation has been known for many years. Many products have been devised and have enjoyed various degrees of success. The META-I1 (12) compiler-compiler is one of the first to use a metalanguage resembling BNF (8) with semantics capability.

The PRECC Compiler Compiler

Peter T. Breuer, Jonathan P. Bowen · 1993

PRECC is a UNIX utility that has been designed to extend the capabilities of the familiar LEX and YACC front-end design and implementation tools. The utility is a compiler-compiler that takes unlimited look-ahead and backtracking, the extended BNF notation, and parametrized grammars with (higher order) meta-parameters to the world of C programming. The generated code is standard ANSI C and is `plug compatible' with LEX-generated lexical analysers prepared for YACC. In contrast to YACC, however, the generated code is modular and thus allows parts of scripts to be compiled separately and linked in incrementally. But it remains efficient in practice, and the generated code has run as fast or faster than YACC-generated code in trials with real programming language specifications.

A compiler---compiler system

Robert G. Trout · 1967

To the author's knowledge three other operational compiler-compiler systems, whose strategy is similar to the scheme documented here, have been developed. The Feldman system [6, 7, 8] is a bounded context, syntax directed system. Syntax specifications are expressed in Floyd production language (FPL) and semantics are defined in Feldman semantic language (FSL). FSL seems to be a good model on which to base semantic languages. A lexical analysis (subscan to distinguish identifiers, operators, delimiters and punctuation marks) precedes the full analysis. In the COGENT system [5], on the other hand, each character is interpreted separately, hence allowing greater flexibility (e.g. its use in a symbolic differentiation program) and enforcing more detailed attention to syntax. Syntax for a source program is virtually in Backus Normal Form (BNF) [3] and this system is syntax directed along the lines suggested by Irons [1]. Much has been written on the compiler-compiler system of Brooker and Morris [2, 22, 23] which has superficial similarities with the COGENT scheme and the system described below.

MUG1 - an incremental compiler-compiler

Harald Ganzinger, Knut Ripken, Reinhard Wilhelm · 1976

MUG1 is a compiler generating system developed and implemented at the Technical University of Munich. The structure of the system and the concepts used in the compiler description are presented. Special emphasis is laid on the use of MUG1 as a tool for the incremental design of programming languages and the construction of their compilers in parallel.

A Monadic Combinator Compiler Compiler

Carlos Camarao, Lucilia Figueiredo · 2001

This article describes a novel approach to compiler generation, based on monadic combinators. A prototype of a compiler generator, called M'imico, is described, that handles infinite look-ahead and left recursive context free grammars, and dyadic infix operator precedence and associativity. Novel ideas and the general principle from which this work has been based are presented, as well as limitations of M'imico and a comparison with related work. 1
