Cwic/360 (<u>C</u>ompiler for <u>W</u>riting and <u>I</u>mplementing <u>C</u>ompilers) is a metacompiler system. It is composed of compilers for three special-purpose languages, each intended to permit the description of certain aspects of translation in a straightforward, natural manner. The Syntax language is used to describe the recognition of source text and the construction from it of an intermediate tree structure. The Generator language is used to describe the transformation of the tree into appropriate object language. The MOL/360 language is used to provide an interface with the machine and its operating system.This paper describes each of these languages, presents examples of their use, and discusses the philosophy underlying their design and implementation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
