An Investigation of a FORTRAN Grammar for Use with a Microprocessor Based LALR(1) Translator Writing System.

Abstract

The design and implementation of an LALR(1) FORTRAN grammar has been described. Design requirements and recommendations for a 16K byte microcomputer system, which would allow the use of the FORTRAN programming language as defined by the grammar implementation, have been presented. The proposed system consisted of three subsystems: a FORTRAN compiler based on the grammar implementation which produced an immediate language, a linking-loader that enabled independently compiled program units to be linked, and an interpreter that executed the intermediate language on the specific target machine.
