Abstract

The Universal Compiling System (UCS) is a unified compiling system for a set of languages and architectures. The integrated implementation discipline of UCS results in reduced development and maintenance costs and increased reliability and efficiency. The key to the UCS design is the strict separation of the source language dependent processes from the architecture dependent processes. This is made possible through the use of an intermediate text and dictionary (symbol table) which is both language independent and architecture independent.

On compiling embedded languages in LISP
LFP '80: Proceedings of the 1980 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming

In INTERLISP we find a number of embedded languages such as the iterative statement and the pattern match facility in the CLISP package, the editor and makefile languages and so forth. We will in this paper concentrate on the problem of extending the ...
Compiling a functional language
LFP '84: Proceedings of the 1984 ACM Symposium on LISP and functional programming

This paper summarizes my experience in implementing a compiler for a functional language. The language is ML(1) [Milner 84] and the compiler was first implemented in 1980 as a personal project when I was a postgraduate student at the University of ...
