Our group has submitted a paper for publication that describes our compiler development environment. Since publication time will be at least a year, the paper is available now either in hard copy or via ftp (boulder.colorado.edu 128.138.240.1, pub/eli.paper.me.Z ). If you take a soft ftp copy (troff), please email a note to me: bob@boulder.colorado.edu If you want a hardcopy US Mailed to you, request TR SEG 89-1-1 from our secretary: maejean@boulder.colorado.edu Maejean Ruehlman Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept Box 425 Boulder Co, 80309-0425 Eli: A Complete, Flexible Compiler Construction System ABSTRACT. Eli integrates off-the-shelf tools and libraries with specialized language processors to provide a system for generating complete compilers quickly and reliably. Its aim is to simplify the development of new special-purpose languages, implementation of existing languages on new hardware and extension of the constructs and features of existing languages. This paper discusses the model of compiler construction upon which Eli is based, the flexible structure that allows the system to evolve gracefully as advances are made in tools and algorithms, and the experience we have gained in using Eli for a variety of compiler development tasks. -- Send compilers articles to compilers@ima.isc.com or, perhaps, Levine@YALE.EDU Plausible paths are { decvax | harvard | yale | bbn}!ima Please send responses to the originator of the message -- I cannot forward mail accidentally sent back to compilers.
