This document attempts to catalog freely availiable compilers, interpreters, libraries, and language tools. This is still a draft document: it has errors, it is not complete, and I might re-organize it. It is my intention that it be aimed at developers rather than researchers. I am much more intersted in production quality systems. There is some overlap of coverage between this document and other lists and catalogs. See the references section for a list... To be on this list a package must be free and have source code included. If there are any packages on this list that do not have source code included or are not free, then I would appreciate it if it is brought to my attention so that I may correct the error. There are many fields filled in with a question mark (?). If you have information which would allow me to remove question marks, please send it to me. The only field which I do not expect to be completely obvious is the "parts" field because I wish to distinguish between compilers, translators, and interpretors. To qualify as a compiler as I'm using the term, it must compile to a machine-readable format no higher-level than assembly. Why? Just because. If you've got a better idea, send it in. This document may be ftp'ed from ~ftp/pub/compilers-list/FreeCompilers* on idiom.berkeley.ca.us. Be nice to my SLIP link. If you would be interested in purchasing a CD-ROM with a complete set of the source code listed here, let me know. If enough people are interested, I might cut a disc. Bear in mind that you can get most, if not all, of this from Prime Time Freeware's disc set (ptf@cfcl.com). Or would you be more interested in sparc binaries? $250 interested? Or would you like to either take over maintenance of this document or pay me to keep doing it?

It is interactive, structured, high-level, very easy to learn, and easy to use. It is suitable for general everyday programming, such as you would use BASIC, Pascal, or AWK for. It is not a systems-programming language. It is an excellent teaching language, and because it is interactive, excellent for prototyping. ABC programs are typically very compact, around a quarter to a fifth the size of the equivalent Pascal or C program.

PCCTS grammars contain specifications for lexical and syntactic analysis, semantic predicates, intermediate-form construction and error reporting. Rules may employ Extended BNF (EBNF) grammar constructs and may define parameters, return values and local variables.

This is intended to be a real hacker's parser. It is not restricted to LR(k), and the parse logic follows directly from the BNF. It handles ambiguous grammars, ambiguous tokens (tokens which were not positively identified by the lexer) and allows the programmer to change the start symbol. The grammar may not be left recursive. The input must be divided into sentences of a finite maximum length. There is no fixed distinction between terminals and non-terminals, that is, a symbol can both match the input AND be on the left hand side of a production. Multiple Marpa grammars are allowed in a single perl program. It's only a prototype primarily due to poor speed.

GNU E extends C++ with the notion of persistent data, program level data objects that can be transparently used across multiple executions of a program, or multiple programs, without explicit input and output operations. GNU E's form of persistence is based on extensions to the C++ type system to distinguish potentially persistent data objects from objects that are always memory resident. An object is made persistent either by its declaration (via a new "persistent" storage class qualifier) or by its method of allocation (via persistent dynamic allocation using a special overloading of the new operator). The underlying object storage system is the Exodus storage manager, which provides concurrency control and recovery in addition to storage for persistent data. restriction: Copyleft; not all runtime sources are available (yet) requires: release 2.1.1 of the Exodus storage manager contact: exodus@cs.wisc.edu updated: 1993/01/20 language: C (ANSI) package: ? 1984 ANSI C to K&R C preprocessor ? version: ? parts: translator(K&R C) author: ? how to get: from comp.sources.unix archive volume 1 status: ? updated: ? language: C (ANSI) package: unproto ? version: ? 4 ? 1.6 ? parts: translator(K&R C) author: Wietse Venema <wietse@wzv.win.tue.nl> how to get: ftp pub/unix/unproto4.shar.Z from ftp.win.tue.nl contact: ? updated: ? language: C (ANSI) package: cproto version: ? parts: translator(K&R C) author: Chin Huang <chin.huang@canrem.com> how to get: from comp.sources.misc archive volume 29 description: cproto generates function prototypes from function definitions.
