Abstract

The SCT is as far as we can go without introducing serious machine dependencies. The remaining steps in the process fall beyond the scope of this paper.

We have proposed a fairly elaborate structuring of the translation process. We are trying to follow the prescription in our present translator writing system effort. We expect to simplify the task of compiler writing, but only for languages with structure amenable to the restrictions of the system.
