An Investigation of the Bootstrapping Process as Applied to Compiler Generation.

Abstract

The paper examines the problem of compiler generation using bootstrapping techniques. It summarizes the development of several compiler systems which were produced through bootstrapping and presents the methods and formalisms through which they can be examined. The discussion of these techniques is illustrated with the development of an XPL compiler system for the Control Data 6500 computer. (Author)
