package: ALLOY
version: 2.0?
parts: interpreter, documentation, examples
author: Thanasis Mitsolides <[email protected]>
location: ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/local/alloy/*
description: ALLOY is a higher level parallel programming language
appropriate for programming massively parallel computing
systems. It is based on a combination of ideas from
functional, object oriented and logic programming languages.
The result is a language that can directly support
functional, object oriented and logic programming styles
in a unified and controlled framework. Evaluating modes
support serial or parallel execution, eager or lazy
evaluation, non-determinism or multiple solutions etc.
ALLOY is simple as it only requires 29 primitives in all
(half of which for Object Oriented Programming support).

version: 0.8alpha patchlevel 01
parts: bytecode compiler, compiler(bytecode->C), runtime
author: Andy Lowry <[email protected]>
location: ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/hermes/README
description: Hermes is a very-high-level integrated language and
system for implementation of large systems and
distributed applications, as well as for
general-purpose programming. 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.

that provides the process scheduling and message-passing
functionality of the transputer micro-code. Therefore, you
will need an OCCAM Toolset compiler (see requires:).

description: I wish to announce the availability of a compiler, simulator
and associated source control for an object-oriented petri net
language called LOOPN. In LOOPN, a petri net is an extension
of coloured timed petri nets. The extension means firstly that
token types are classes. In other words, they consist of both
data fields and functions, they can be declared by inheriting
from other token types, and they can be used polymorphically.
The object-oriented extensions also mean that module or subnet
types are classes. LOOPN has been developed over a period of
about 5 years at the University of Tasmania, where it has been
used in teaching computer simulation and the modelling of
network protocols. A petri net is a directed, bipartite graph;
nodes are either places (represented by circles) or transitions
(represented by rectangles). A net is marked by placing tokens
on places. When all the places pointing to a transition (the
input places) have a token, the net may be fired by removing a
token from each input place and adding a token to each place
pointed to by the transition (the output places). Petri nets
are used to model concurrent systems, particularly in the
network protocol area.

description: SR is a language for writing concurrent programs.
The main language constructs are resources and
operations. Resources encapsulate processes and
variables they share; operations provide the primary
mechanism for process interaction. SR provides a novel
integration of the mechanisms for invoking and
servicing operations. Consequently, all of local and
remote procedure call, rendezvous, message passing,
dynamic process creation, multicast, and semaphores are
supported.

description: I have written a compiler generator. The generator is called
Alpha and uses attribute grammars as specification calculus.
Alpha is the result of a thesis at Technische Universitaet
Berlin. I am looking for someone who would like to test and use
Alpha. Alpha generates compilers from a compiler
specification. This specification describes a compiler in
terminology of attribute grammars. Parser and Scanner are
generated by means of Bison and Flex. Alpha generates an
ASE-evaluator (Jazayeri and Walter). The documentation is in
german since it is a thesis at a german university.

author: Kurt Bischoff <[email protected]>
location: ftp://ftp.cs.iastate.edu/pub/ox/*
description: Ox generalizes the function of Yacc in the way that attribute
grammars generalize context-free grammars. Ordinary Yacc and
Lex specifications may be augmented with definitions of
synthesized and inherited attributes written in C syntax. Ox
checks these specifications for consistency and completeness,
and generates from them a program that builds and decorates
attributed parse trees. Ox accepts a most general class of
attribute grammars. The user may specify postdecoration
traversals for easy ordering of side effects such as code
generation. Ox handles the tedious and error-prone details of
writing code for parse-tree management, so its use eases
problems of security and maintainability associated with that
aspect of translator development. Ox is a preprocessor,
and extends the syntax and semantics of Yacc, Lex, and C.
reference: Most compiler textbooks have descriptions of attribute
grammars.
features: LALR(1), semantic-analyzer generation.

parts: compiler generator, attribute evaluator generator
author: Masataka Sassa, Kazuhiro Kuroishi, Teruhisa Hirai and
Yoshiki Ohshima
location: ftp://ftp.is.titech.ac.jp/pub/Rie/*
description: Rie is a yet another compiler generator which is based on
a one-pass attribute grammar called ECLR-attributed grammar.
ECLR-attributed grammar is a superset of LR-attributed
grammar, and the generated compiler can evaluate both
inherited and synthesized attributes in parallel with LR
parsing without creating a parse tree. The style of the
Rie description is derived from Yacc, but the semantic
section of a production may contain attribution rules.
Because the specification is based on attribute grammar,
user can integrate syntax and semantics in one description.
Rie also accepts shorthand notations, context conditions
and `local' attributes, which are useful to write actual
compilers.
The generated compiler is only 1.8 times slower than a
handwritten compiler. Rie generates an attribute evaluator
in C source.
The package includes sample descriptions of PL/0 compiler
and of a sample of simple semantic analyzer, and documentation.

intermediate-form construction and sophisticated
parser exception handling. Rules may employ Extended BNF
(EBNF) grammar constructs and may define parameters,
return values and local variables. Languages described in
PCCTS are recognized via predicated-LL(k) parsers
constructed in pure, human-readable, C/C++ code; the C++
programming interface is very good. The documentation is
complete, but distributed over an original manual plus
multiple release notes. A book is in the works and should
be available 1Q 1996.
A recently-developed PCCTS-based C++ parser is available
at the ftp://site; it is an *initial* release and was
derived from the grammar built by NeXT, Inc..

author: Kent Wittenburg <[email protected]>

description: The RL files contain code for defining Relational Grammars and
using them in a bottom-up parser to recognize and/or parse
expressions in Relational Languages. 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.

location: ftp://neat.cs.toronto.edu/pub/ssl.tar.Z
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.

package: TXL: Tree Transformation Language
version: 7.4
parts: translator, documentation, tutorial, examples
author: Jim Cordy <[email protected]>
location: ftp://ftp.qucis.queensu.ca/pub/txl/*
description: TXL is a language for performing source to source
transformations and is well suited for rapidly prototyping
new languages and language processors. It has also been used to
prototype specification languages, command languages, and more
traditional program transformation tasks such as constant
folding, type inference, source optimization and reverse
engineering. TXL takes as input an arbitrary context-free
grammar in extended BNF-like notation, and a set of
show-by-example transformation rules to be applied to inputs
parsed using the grammar. TXL is a functional/rule-based
hybrid programming language, using the paradigm of structural
transformation.

description: SORCERER is more suitable for the class of translation problems
lying between those solved by code-generator generators and by
full source-to-source translator generators. SORCERER
generates simple, flexible, top-down, tree parsers that, in
contrast to code-generators, may execute actions at any point
during a tree walk. SORCERER accepts extended BNF notation,
allows predicates to direct the tree walk with semantic and
syntactic context information, and does not rely on any
particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other
pre-existing application. Both C and C++ based tree
walkers can be generated. SORCERER is well integrated
with PCCTS (soon SORCERER will be distributed with PCCTS).

author: Martin Jourdan, Didier Parigot and students
location: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/charme/FNC-2/index.html
ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/Projects/ChLoE/FNC-2/
description: The FNC-2 system is a modern AG-processing system that
aims at production-quality by providing the following
qualities:
+ Efficiency:
The generated evaluators, based on the visit-sequence
paradigm, are completely deterministic; furthermore,
this paradigm allows to apply very effective space
optimization techniques. The evaluators are hence
basically as efficient in time and space as hand-written
programs using a tree as internal data structure.
+ Expressive power:
This efficiency is not achieved at the expense of
expressive power since FNC-2 accepts AGs in the very
broad class of strongly non-circular AGs.
+ Easiness of use:
Olga, the input language of FNC-2, enforces a high degree
of programming safety, reliability and productivity.
It provides powerful constructions for modularity and
reusability.
+ It contains the following sub-languages:
attributed abstract syntaxes ASX;
attribute grammars;
declaration and definition modules.
+ Versatility:
The generated evaluators can be interfaced with many
other tools and produced in many variations:
Several modes of attribute evaluation:
exhaustive; incremental; concurrent (on shared-memory
multiprocessor machines).
+ Several implementation languages:
C (standalone);
Lisp (on top of the http://www-rocq.inria.fr/charme/FNC-2/centaurfnc2.html
C/fSDL (for the <A HREF="http://www-rocq.inria.fr/charme/FNC-2/cosyfnc2.html"> CoSy </A>

ML (Caml).
In addition, FNC-2 is the testbed for an active research team.

description: Depot4 generates recursive descent parsers and

Ml4 is a true extension of N.Wirth's EBNF. It features a
unique translation=20
centred description, which makes it especially useful
for people not educated in compiler construction.
The Ml4 translator can bootstrap itself, thus serving as
an example.
Although translators are generated in a certain host
language, their description is totally independent from this.
Depot4 is intended for domain specific language implementation.

this identifier occurs in the source listing part.
This format resembles the format that John Lions used in
"Source Code and Commentary on UNIX level 6".
conformance: Should operate on all K&R and ANSI C programs. There are
some restrictions on the placement of matching #ifdef, #else
and #endif directives, or else the way an identifier is used
may be incorrectly determined.
features: + Non-C sources can be included in the output
- Non-C sources will not be cross-referenced
+ Long lines are folded in the output and marked as such
+ Customizable footer for copyright or other messages
+ Cross reference list distinguishes definition versus use
of an identifier
+ Possibility to exclude certain identifiers
+ Can save a list of all identifiers with linenumbers
+ Identifiers can be included or excluded from the cross-

hardware simulator which in turn may be connected to a
discrete-event system, etc. Because of this, Ptolemy can be
used to model entire systems.
In addition, Ptolemy now has code generation capabilities.
from a flow graph description, Ptolemy can generate both C code
and DSP assembly code for rapid prototyping. Note that code
generation is not yet complete, and is included in the current

description: SAOL is an audio processing and digital synthesis and effects
language. It is part of the MPEG-4 standard, and allows the
flexible description of synthesizers and effects-processing
algorithms within than toolset.
SAOL is historically related to Csound and other "Music N"
languages, but is more flexible and easy to use than these.
While maintaining features such as the instrument/score
distinction and dual-rate processing, it adds user-defined
opcodes, more well-defined rate semantics, more lexical
flexibility, and an improved syntax.
references: forthcoming
conformance: This implementation is being developed as the official
Reference Software for the Structured Audio component of
ISO 14496 (MPEG-4).
features:
- non-real time performance (unless your machine is much faster than my SGI Octane)
+ implements user-defined opcodes as macro expansion
+ standalone mode as well as bitstream processing
bugs: many known and being worked on.
restrictions: source code is released to the public domain
requires: C compiler only; lex/yacc to rebuild parser
not much fun without audio capability
ports: At least SGI, Alpha, NT, Win95, Linux, and SunOS systems
portability: Word length and byte-order independent
status: Under active development
Discussion: [email protected] to be added to the SAOL developers' mailing list

description: The SPAM Compiler is a retargetable optimizing compiler
for embedded fixed- point DSP processors. SPAM is built
on top of the SUIF Compiler, which serves as the "front and
middle"-end. The back-end of the SPAM Compiler consists of
two components. The first component is a set of data
structures that store the various representations of the source
program (e.g. calling graph, control-flow graphs, expression DAGs).
The second component is a suite of retargetable algorithms that
perform code generation and machine-dependent code optimization.

description: This program was written by a postgraduate student as part
of his M.Sc course, it was designed to form part a larger
system operating with the Cadence Edge 2.1 framework. This
should be born in mind when considering the construction
and/or operation of the program.
[If anyone knows the current location of this program please
let me know - ed (6/98)].

language: VHDL
package: VHDL Object Model (VOM)
version: 1.0
parts: parser
author: David Benz <[email protected]> and
Phillip Baraona <[email protected]>
location: ftp://thor.ece.uc.edu/pub/vhdl/tools/vhdl-object-model.tar.gz
description: VOM 1.0 is an object-oriented syntactic specification for VHDL
written using the REFINE software design and synthesis
environment. In simpler terms, it is a VHDL parser which builds
an object tree from VHDL source code.
If you are interested in transforming VHDL into some other form
(source code, whatever) you might be interested in this. The
parse tree (in the form of an object tree) is provided, you would
just need to add your own transformations.
VOM isn't complete. The semantic information is not included
(type checking, certain syntactic-rules, etc.). VOM 1.0 should
parse most VHDL programs. However, it will not detect errors
such as a wait statement in a process statement with an
explicit sensitivity list.
