source code fragments are read from the input stream (or a

compiled functions in addition to a few built-in intrinsics,
declare new data types and data objects, etc. Different input
streams can be evaluated in parallel on alliant machines.

speed, and run the SPEC benchmarks. That will be rev 1.0.

description: This is a garbage colecting storage allocator that is intended
to be used as a plug-in replacement for C's malloc. Since the
collector does not require pointers to be tagged, it does not
attempt to ensure that all inaccessible storage is reclaimed.
However, in our experience, it is typically more successful at
reclaiming unused memory than most C programs using explicit
deallocation. Unlike manually introduced leaks, the amount of
unreclaimed memory typically stays bounded.

detect invalid transitions (i.e. attempting to set or use
undefined or free storage or attempting to access uninitialized
storage). In addition, the program keeps track of heap
management through malloc and free and at the end of the run
will report all memory blocks that were not freed and that are
not accessible (i.e. memory leaks).
The tools works using a spliced-in shared library.

The funtionality is close to Common Lisp data structures (like
libg++). The template syntax is very close to Cfront3.x and
g++2.x. Can build shared libraries on Suns. JCOOL's main
difference from COOL and GECOOL is that it uses real C++
templates instead of a similar syntax that is preprocessed by
a special 'cpp' distributed with COOL and GECOOL.

how to get: ftp exodus/E/gnu_E* from ftp.cs.wisc.edu
description: GNU E is a persistent, object oriented programming language
developed as part of the Exodus project. 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.

description: c2man is an automatic documentation tool that extracts comments
from C source code to generate functional interface
documentation in the same format as sections 2 & 3 of the Unix
Programmer's Manual. It requires minimal effort from the
programmer by looking for comments in the usual places near the
objects they document, rather than imposing a rigid
function-comment syntax or requiring that the programmer learn
and use a typesetting language. Acceptable documentation can
often be generated from existing code with no modifications.
conformance: supports both K&R and ISO/ANSI C coding styles
features: + generates output in nroff -man, TeXinfo or LaTeX format
+ handles comments as part of the language grammar
+ automagically documents enum parameter & return values
+ handles C (/* */) and C++ (//) style comments
- doesn't handle C++ grammar (yet)

description: Small-C is a subset of the C programming language for which a

E.Hendrix has improved and extended the original Small-C
compiler and published "The Small-C Handbook", ISBN
0-8359-7012-4 (1984). Both compilers produce 8080 assembly
language, which is the most popular implementation of Small-C
to-date. My 6502 Small-C compiler for the BBC Micro is based
on "RatC", a version of the original Ron Cain compiler
described by R.E.Berry and B.A.Meekings in "A Book on C", ISBN
0-333-36821-5 (1984). The 6502 compiler is written in Small-C
and was bootstrapped using Zorland C on an Amstrad PC1512 under
MSDOS 3.2, then transferred onto a BBC Micro using Kermit. The
compiler can be used to cross-compile 6502 code from an MSDOS
host, or as a 'resident' Small-C compiler on a BBC Micro.

description: MeldC 2.0: A Reflective Object-Oriented Coordination
Programming Language MELDC is a C-based, concurrent,
object-oriented language built on a reflective architecture.
The core of the architecture is a micro-kernel (the MELDC
kernel), which encapsulates a minimum set of entities that
cannot be modeled as objects. All components outside of the
kernel are implemented as objects in MELDC itself and are
modularized in the MELDC libraries. MELDC is reflective in
three dimensions: structural, computational and architectural.
The structural reflection indicates that classes and
meta-classes are objects, which are written in MELDC. The
computational reflection means that object behaviors can be
computed and extended at runtime. The architectural reflection
indicates that new features/properties (e.g., persistency and
remoteness) can be constructed in MELDC.

It has clean and simple syntax, parameterized classes,
object-oriented dispatch, multiple inheritance, strong
typing, and garbage collection. The compiler generates
efficient and portable C code which is easily
integrated with existing code.
package: A variety of development tools including a debugger and browser
based on gdb and a GNU Emacs development environment
have also been developed. There is also a class library
with several hundred classes that implement a variety
of basic data structures and numerical, geometric,
connectionist, statistical, and graphical abstractions.
We would like to encourage contributions to the library
and hope to build a large collection of efficient,
well-written, well-tested classes in a variety of areas
of computer science.

package: XPL optimizing Compiler
version: 1
parts: compiler, documentation
author: Robin Vowels <robin_vowels@rmit.edu.au>
how to get: mail to author
description: The compiler is a standard implementation of XPL and is based on
McKeeman, Horning, and Wortman's improved XCOM (which employs
hashed symbol table generation). It includes the extra built-in
function COREHALFWORD.
The following areas have been optimized: procedures calls when
the argument and corresponding parameter are of the same type,
and when the argument is a constant; constant subscripts; use of
CORELHALFWORD and COREWORD; string constants of length one;
iterative DO statements by transferring code to the end of the
loop.
String constants of length one do not require a descriptor,
hence more descriptors are available for string variables.
Comparison operations are treated as commutative, and an
improved Commute algorithm is used. Halfword instructions are
generated for BIT(16) variables.
These areas have been improved or re-written: calls on OUTPUT,
catenation, integer-to-string conversion, multiply, divide, and
MOD. An emitter for SS-type instructions has been added.
The compiler achieves an 11% reduction in object code
compiling itself, an 11% increase in compilation rate, a 55%
increase in compilation speed when the $E toggle is set.
Special treatment for catenating a string to an integer
substantially decreases consumption of the free string area, and
decreases string moves. The latter improvement is most
noticeable on small core machines.
Core requirements: less than the improved XCOM on which it is
based (approx. 98000 bytes). Symbol table size is 468.
ports: IBM System 370
portability: The compiler is written in XPL. The code generators are
machine-specific.

Self. Release 2.0 introduces full source-level debugging of
optimized code, adaptive optimization to shorten compile
pauses, lightweight threads within Self, support for
dynamically linking foreign functions, changing programs within
Self, and the ability to run the experimental Self graphical
browser under OpenWindows.
Designed for expressive power and malleability, Self combines a
pure, prototype-based object model with uniform access to state
and behavior. Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to
inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance
dynamically. Self's customizing compiler can generate very
efficient code compared to other dynamically-typed
object-oriented languages.
