Evaluating modes support serial or parallel execution, eager or lazy evaluation, non-determinism or multiple solutions etc. ALLOY is simple as it only requires 29 primitives in all (half of which for Object Oriented Programming support). ports: sparc, ? updated: 1991/06/11 language: Cellang (Cellular Automata) package: Cellular version: 2.0 parts: byte-code compiler, runtime, viewer author: J Dana Eckart <dana@rucs.faculty.cs.runet.edu> how to get: comp.sources.unix, volume 26 description: A system for cellular automata programming. updated: 1993/04/03 language: Hermes package: IBM Watson prototype Hermes system version: 0.8alpha patchlevel 01 parts: bytecode compiler, compiler(bytecode->C), runtime author: Andy Lowry <lowry@watson.ibm.com> how to get: ftp pub/hermes/README from software.watson.ibm.com description: Hermes is a very-high-level integrated language and system for implementation of large systems and distributed applications, as well as for general-purpose programming. It is an imperative, strongly typed, process-oriented language. Hermes hides distribution and heterogeneity from the programmer. The programmer sees a single abstract machine containing processes that communicate using calls or sends. The compiler, not the programmer, deals with the complexity of data structure layout, local and remote communication, and interaction with the operating system. As a result, Hermes programs are portable and easy to write. Because the programming paradigm is simple and high level, there are many opportunities for optimization which are not present in languages which give the programmer more direct control over the machine. reference: Strom, Bacon, Goldberg, Lowry, Yellin, Yemini.

It provides a simple language for specifying concurrent algorithms, interfaces to Fortran and C, a portable toolkit that allows applications to be developed on a workstation or small parallel computer and run unchanged on supercomputers, and integrated debugging and performance analysis tools. PCN was developed at Argonne National Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology. It has been used to develop a wide variety of applications, in areas such as climate modeling, fluid dynamics, computational biology, chemistry, and circuit simulation. ports: (workstation nets): Sun4, NeXT, RS/6000, SGI (multicomputers): iPSC/860, Touchstone DELTA (shared memory multiprocessors): Symmetry/Dynix contact: <pcn@mcs.anl.gov> updated: 1993/02/12 language: LOOPN package: LOOPN version: ? parts: compiler?, simulator author: ? how to get: ftp departments/computer_sci*/loopn.tar.Z from ftp.utas.edu.au description: I wish to announce the availability of a compiler, simulator and associated source control for an object-oriented petri net language called LOOPN. In LOOPN, a petri net is an extension of coloured timed petri nets. The extension means firstly that token types are classes. In other words, they consist of both data fields and functions, they can be declared by inheriting from other token types, and they can be used polymorphically. The object-oriented extensions also mean that module or subnet types are classes. LOOPN has been developed over a period of about 5 years at the University of Tasmania, where it has been used in teaching computer simulation and the modelling of network protocols. A petri net is a directed, bipartite graph; nodes are either places (represented by circles) or transitions (represented by rectangles). A net is marked by placing tokens on places. When all the places pointing to a transition (the input places) have a token, the net may be fired by removing a token from each input place and adding a token to each place pointed to by the transition (the output places). Petri nets are used to model concurrent systems, particularly in the network protocol area. contact: Charles Lakos <charles@probitas.cs.utas.edu.au> updated: 1992/12/20 language: Simula package: Lund Simula version: 4.07 parts: ? author: ? how to get: ftp misc/mac/programming/+_Simula/* from rascal.ics.utexas.edu description: ? contact: Lund Software House AB / Box 7056 / S-22007 Lund, Sweden updated: 1992/05/22 language: SR (Synchronizing Resources) package: sr version: 2.0 parts: ?, documentation, tests author: ? how to get: ftp sr/sr.tar.Z from cs.arizona.edu description: SR is a language for writing concurrent programs.

The generator is called Alpha and uses attribute grammars as specification calculus. Alpha is the result of a thesis at Technische Universitaet Berlin. I am looking for someone who would like to test and use Alpha. Alpha generates compilers from a compiler specification. This specification describes a compiler in terminology of attribute grammars. Parser and Scanner are generated by means of Bison and Flex. Alpha generates an ASE-evaluator (Jazayeri and Walter). The documentation is in german since it is a thesis at a german university. updated: 1993/02/16 language: attribute-grammar extension of Yacc and Lex package: Ox version: G1.01 parts: Yacc/Lex/C preprocessor, tutorial, reference manual, man page, examples, Ox-ready parsers (C, C++, Pascal, Ada, Fortran) author: Kurt Bischoff <bischoff@cs.iastate.edu> how to get: ftp pub/ox/* from ftp.cs.iastate.edu description: Ox generalizes the function of Yacc in the way that attribute grammars generalize context-free grammars. Ordinary Yacc and Lex specifications may be augmented with definitions of synthesized and inherited attributes written in C syntax. Ox checks these specifications for consistency and completeness, and generates from them a program that builds and decorates attributed parse trees. Ox accepts a most general class of attribute grammars. The user may specify postdecoration traversals for easy ordering of side effects such as code generation. Ox handles the tedious and error-prone details of writing code for parse-tree management, so its use eases problems of security and maintainability associated with that aspect of translator development. Ox is a preprocessor, and extends the syntax and semantics of Yacc, Lex, and C. reference: Most compiler textbooks have descriptions of attribute grammars. features: LALR(1), semantic-analyzer generation. bugs: none known.

However, PCCTS has many additional features which make it easier to use for a wide range of translation problems. PCCTS grammars contain specifications for lexical and syntactic analysis with selective backtracking ("infinite lookahead"), 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. Languages described in PCCTS are recognized via LL(k) parsers constructed in pure, human-readable, C code. Selective backtracking is available to handle non-LL(k) constructs. PCCTS parsers may be compiled with C++. Now includes SORCERER, a tree parser generator.

The author is seeking an FTP site to hold the software. description: Milarepa takes a source grammar in the Milarepa language (a straightforward mix of BNF and Perl) and generates a Perl file, which, when enclosed in a simple wrapper, parses some third language described by the source grammar. 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. This is intended to be remedied after Perl 5.0 is out. requires: perl updated: 1993/03/17 language: Pascal, Lisp, APL, Scheme, SASL, CLU, Smalltalk, Prolog package: Tim Budd's C++ implementation of Kamin's interpreters version: ? parts: interpretors, documentation author: Tim Budd <budd@cs.orst.edu> how to get: ? ftp pub/budd/kamin/*.shar from cs.orst.edu ? description: a set of interpretors written as subclasses based on "Programming Languages, An Interpreter-Based Approach", by Samuel Kamin. requires: C++ status: ? contact: Tim Budd <budd@fog.cs.orst.edu> updated: 1991/09/12 language: perl, yacc iref: (Perl) perl-byacc language: Relation Grammar package: rl version: ? parts: ? author: Kent Wittenburg <kentw@bellcore.com> how to get: fto rl/* from flash.bellcore.com description: The RL files contain code for defining Relational Grammars and using them in a bottom-up parser to recognize and/or parse expressions in Relational Languages. The approach is a simplification of that described in Wittenburg, Weitzman, and Talley (1991), Unification-Based Grammars and Tabular Parsing for Graphical Languages, Journal of Visual Languages and Computing 2:347-370. This code is designed to support the definition and parsing of Relational Languages, which are characterized as sets of objects standing in user-defined relations. Correctness and completeness is independent of the order in which the input is given to the parser. Data to be parsed can be in many forms as long as an interface is supported for queries and predicates for the relations used in grammar productions. To date, this software has been used to parse recursive pen-based input such as math expressions and flowcharts; to check for data integrity and design conformance in databases; to automatically generate constraints in drag-and-drop style graphical interfaces; and to generate graphical displays by parsing relational data and generating output code. requires: Common Lisp ports: Allegro Common Lisp 4.1, Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0 updated: 1992/10/31 language: S/SL (Syntax Semantic Language) package: ssl version: ? parts: parser bytecode compiler, runtime author: Rick Holt, Jim Cordy <cordy@qucis.queensu.ca> (language), Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@cs.toronto.edu> (C implementation) how to get: ftp pub/ssl.tar.Z from neat.cs.toronto.edu description: A better characterization is that S/SL is a language explicitly designed for making efficient recusive-descent parsers. Unlike most other languages, practicially the LEAST expensive thing you can do in S/SL is recur. A small language that defines input/output/error token names (& values), semantic operations (which are really escapes to a programming language but allow good abstration in the pseudo-code), and a pseudo-code program that defines a grammar by the token stream the program accepts. Alternation, control flow, and 1-symbol lookahead constructs are part of the language. What I call an S/SL "implementation", is a program that compiles this S/SL pseudo-code into a table (think byte-codes) that is interpreted by the S/SL table-walker (interpreter). I think the pseudo-code language is LR(1), and that the semantic mechanisms turn it into LR(N) relatively easily. + more powerful and cleaner than yac - slower than yacc reference: + Cordy, J.R. and Holt, R.C.
