ABSTRACT
This paper will discuss the expansion of an existing XPL compiler to include real arithmetic and formatted I/O. This was done at the University of Southern Mississippi on a Xerox Sigma 9 so that XPL can be used for numerical applications as well as giving the student user an introduction to the syntax of PL/I. The structure and use of the Compiler Generator will be traced through indicating what changes were made in the BNF grammar, the scanner, the semantic analyzer, and the runtime support facility.

The XPL compiler generator system
AFIPS '68 (Fall, part I): Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part IThe development of the system described here was originally motivated by the need to develop a good student language compiler for a large IBM System/360. An examination of the tools and methods available caused us to establish the subgoal of developing ...
A truly generative semantics-directed compiler generator
Proceedings of the 1982 SIGPLAN symposium on Compiler constructionThis paper describes semantic processing in the compiler generating system MUG2. MUG2 accepts high-level descriptions of the semantics of a programming language including full runtime semantics, data flow analysis, and optimizing transformations. This ...
