JOCIT JOVIAL Compiler Implementation Tool.
Abstract
This project was undertaken with the technical objective of proving that a compiler-compiler could be developed which would automate the process of producing high quality compilers in less time and at less cost than so called 'hand-built' compilers. The main problems encountered with previous compilers built using automated techniques were their inefficient use of computing resources (core and processor time) and/or the inefficient machine oriented code which they generated. This effort resulted in the development of a compiler building tool, called JOCIT, for implementing JOVIAL/J3 compilers, and the compilers built using that tool exhibit none of the above negative characteristics. The most significant advances made by this effort in the area of compiler building tools were in the optimization and code generation phases of compilation.
