- Version 3.3.1 of the Eli compiler construction system is now available
- either on magnetic tape or via anonymous ftp (ftp.cs.colorado.edu,
- 128.138.243.151, pub/cs/distribs/eli). Complete system documentation is
- also available in two formats: Tex dvi format and PostScript. This
- release has been tested on the following machine/os combinations (reported
- by "uname"):
-
- Sun3: SunOS Release 4.1 Version 1
- Sun4: SunOS Release 4.1.2 Version 2
- DECstation: ULTRIX Release 4.2 Version 0
- HP 9000/340: HP-UX Release B.08.00 Version B
- IBM RS 6000: AIX Release 1 Version 3
-
- Eli integrates off-the-shelf tools and libraries with specialized language
- processors to generate complete compilers quickly and reliably. It
- simplifies the development of new special-purpose languages,
- implementation of existing languages on new hardware and extension of the
- constructs and features of existing languages. A paper describing the
- system appears in the February, 1992 issue of "Communications of the ACM"
- (pages 121-131).
-
- Version 3.3.1 provides enhanced facilities for modularity in attribute
- grammars: symbol computation, inheritance and rule attributes. Rules need
- be specified only if they introduce attribute computations. (This
- dramatically reduces specification size.) Version 3.3.1 also includes a
- new property definition language that allows users to create additional
- definition table access operations.
