:We present STARLET, a new compiler compiler which compiles Extended Affix G r a m m a r s defining a translation into an executable program : the translator. We look at its operational semantics and we focus on the points which are close to or different from Prolog procedural semantics. We discuss the two interwoven issues which are Program Reliability (due to many static checks) and Program Efficiency (optimizations at compile time). Both are reached through a systematic use of grammatical properties.
I I n t r o d u c t i o nOur research group has been working on grammatical programming development i.e. an approach to software construction based on compiling methods
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.
