Intermediate Langauge in the PILER system.

Abstract

The PILER system is an automatic computer program translator which translates a source machine language program to a specified language for the target computer. The three steps in the translation are interpretation of subject program commands, analysis of subject program for function and purpose and data forms, and conversion of the subject program to the target language. The report describes the Intermediate Language which is the language used to transmit information from the Analyzer to the Converter. This is not a formal programming language, but an internal communication code. The Intermediate Language consists of three elements: the Logic Framework which details the program flow paths, the Imperative Statement List which describes procedures to be performed, and the Data Description, which describes the format and usage of data items.
