Abstract

We implemented an automatic code generator generator based on the approach of Glanville and Graham. We describe our experience with this system and compare the generated code with that of a conventional Pascal compiler.

Code generation has withstood attempts at automation for some time. This paper describes a non-procedural, problem-oriented language for expressing a code generator. The basis for the language is the description of the target machine as a finite-state ...
