This documents attempts to catalog freely availiable compilers, interpretors, 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 have source code included. If there are any packages on this list that do not have source code included, 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. I hope to post this once a month. I don't know if I will be able to.

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. However, this is not at the cost of readability, on the contrary in fact. references: "The ABC Programmer's Handbook" by Leo Geurts, Lambert Meertens and Steven Pemberton, published by Prentice-Hall (ISBN 0-13-000027-2) "An Alternative Simple Language and Environment for PCs" by Steven Pemberton, IEEE Software, Vol. 4, No. 1, January 1987, pp. 56-64. ports: unix, MSDOS, atari, mac contact: abc@cwi.nl updated: ? language: Ada package: Ada/Ed version: ? parts: translator(?), interpreter, ? author: ? how to get: ftp pub/Ada/Ada-Ed from cnam.cnam.fr description: Ada/Ed is a translator-interpreter for Ada.

It is written in Smalltalk and lives in the Smalltalk programming environment. T-gen supports the generation of both top-down (LL) and bottom-up (LR) parsers, which will automatically generate derivation trees, abstract syntax trees, or arbitrary Smalltalk objects. The simple specification syntax and graphical user interface are intended to enhance the learning, comprehension, and usefulness of T-gen. ports: ParcPlace Objectworks/Smalltalk 4.0 & 4.1 requires: Smalltalk-80 language: Milarepa (BNF variant) package: Marpa parts: parser-generator, examples author: Jeffrey Kegler description: Milarepa is a program which uses a subset of Marpa's capabilities to take a file of BNF and associated actions (in Perl!), and parse them into a Perl program which parses its input standard, performing the actions. 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. 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. The grammar is extensible. The BNF may have productions added (or, as an extension, deleted) after parsing has begun. The grammar may not be left recursive. The input must be divided into sentences of a finite maximum length. requires: perl, C updated: 1992/11/06 parts: ? description: ? requires: MSDOS: DJ Delorie's DOS extender (go32) contact: Josef Grosch ports: MSDOS, maybe OS/2, Unix language: Bourne Shell package: bash (Bourne Again SHell) version: 1.12 parts: parser(yacc), interpreter, documentation how to get: ftp bash-1.12.tar.Z from a GNU archive site author: Brian Fox description: ? restriction: CopyLeft bugs: gnu.bash.bug updated: 1992/01/28 language: C package: xdbx version: 2.1 parts: X11 front end for dbx how to get: retrieve xxgdb from comp.sources.x volumes 11, 12, 13, 14, & 16 contact: Po Cheung updated: 1992/02/22 language: C package: ups version: 2.1 parts: interpreter, symbolic debugger, tests, documentation how to get: ? ftp from contrib/ups*.tar.Z from export.lcs.mit.edu ? author: Mark Russell description: Ups is a source level C debugger that runs under X11 or SunView.

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.

To use SunSoft OMG IDL CFE, you must write a back-end; full instructions are included. No problem. A complete compiler of IDL would translate IDL into client side and server side routines for remote communication in the same manner as the currrent Sun RPCL compiler. The additional degree of freedom that the IDL compiler front end provides is that it allows integration of new back ends which can translate IDL to various programming languages. Locally at Sun we are working on a back end that will produce C and C++, and we know of companies (members of OMG) that are interested in other target languages such as Pascal or Lisp. contact: idl-cfe@sun.com updated: 1992/10/23 language: IFP (Illinois Functional Programming) package: ifp version: 0.5 parts: interpreter author: Arch D.

Instead of exploring new features, we studied the features of the Modula family of languages that have proven themselves in practice and tried to simplify them into a harmonious language. We found that most of the successful features were aimed at one of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler, more systematic type system. Modula-3 retains one of Modula-2's most successful features, the provision for explicit interfaces between modules. It adds objects and classes, exception handling, garbage collection, lightweight processes (or threads), and the isolation of unsafe features. ports: ?, Ultrix, RS6000 contact: Bill Kalsow discussion: comp.lang.modula3 updated: 1992/02/09 language: Modula2 package: mtc parts: translator(C) how to get: ftp soft/unixtools/compilerbau/mtc.tar.Z from rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de author: ? description: ? ports: ? updated: 1991/10/25 language: Modula2, Pascal package: ?? metro ?? version: ? beta parts: ? how to get: ftp from mips1.info.uqam.ca using metro, password release4.0 description: ? ports: Sparc (Modula2 only), Macintosh contact: Marcel Achim language: Motorola DSP56001 assembly package: a56 version: 1.1 parts: assembler author: Quinn C.

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. ports: Allegro Common Lisp 4.1, Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0 requires: Common Lisp updated: 1992/10/31 language: REXX package: Regina ? version: 0.02a author: Anders Christensen how to get: ftp andersrexx/rexx-0.02a.tar.Z from arexx.uwaterloo.ca or ftp ? from flipper.pvv.unit.no ports: unix discussion: comp.lang.rexx updated: 1992/05/13 language: REXX package: ? version: 102 author: ? al ? how to get: ftp alrexx/rx102.tar.Z from arexx.uwaterloo.ca or ftp ? from tony.cat.syr.edu requires: C++ ports: unix discussion: comp.lang.rexx contact: ? updated: 1992/05/13 language: S/SL (Syntax Semantic Language) package: ssl version: ? author: Rick Holt, Jim Cordy (language), Rayan Zachariassen (C implementation) parts: parser bytecode compiler, runtime 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.

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. discussion: self-request@self.stanford.edu ports: Sun-3 (no optimizer), Sun-4 contact: ? updated: 1992/08/13 language: SGML (Standardized Generalized Markup Language) package: sgmls version: 1.0 parts: parser author: James Clark and Charles Goldfarb how to get: ftp pub/text-processing/sgml/sgmls-1.0.tar.Z from ftp.uu.net uk: ftp sgmls/sgmls-1.0.tar.Z from sgml1.ex.ac.uk description: SGML is a markup language standardized in ISO 8879.
