XPL CGP: An XPL-Based Semantic Language Processor.

Abstract

The XPL CGP is a complete compiler generator package based on the XPL system. With the introduction of a semantic meta-language (SML) and an associated processor, the package is capable of generating a production compiler for any computer language with a mixed strategy precedence grammar. The only input required in most cases is the syntax of the language encoded in BNF and the corresponding semantics encoded in SML. The resulting compiler will generate code which may be executed on a simulated stack-oriented machine. (Author)
