ADAPAR: An Ada Recognizer.

Abstract

This thesis involved the development of a top down recursive descent Ada recognizer. The recognizer accepts syntactically valid Ada programs and rejects those that are not. Basic concepts of compiler theory as they relate to syntax analysis were reviewed. Appropriate syntax diagrams were selected and transformed into program statements using a structured method. The software was developed with attention to software engineering practices. Uses for the recognizer as a programmers tool are discussed. The steps necessary to transform the recognizer into a compiler are discussed.
