COCOVILA - Compiler-Compiler for Visual Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compiler-compiler for visual languages is presented. It has been designed as a framework for building visual programming environments that translate schemas into textual representation as well as into programs representing the deep meaning of schemas. The deep semantics is implemented by applying attribute grammars to schema languages; attribute dependencies are implemented as methods of Java classes. Unlike compiler-compilers of textual languages, a large part of the framework is needed for support of interactive usage of a visual language.

A Framework of Syntactic Models for the Implementation of Visual Languages
In this paper we present a framework of syntactic models for the definition and implementation of visual languages. We analyze a wide range of existing visual languages and, for each of them, we propose a characterization according to a syntactic model. The framework has been implemented in the Visual Language Compiler-Compiler (VLCC) system. VLCC is a practical, flexible and extensible tool fo...
متن کاملThe Glasgow Haskell Compiler: a Technical Overview
We give an overview of the Glasgow Haskell compiler, focusing especially on way in which we have been able to exploit the rich theory of functional languages to give very practical improvements in the compiler. The compiler is portable, modular, generates good code, and is freely available.
متن کاملLanguage Development in a Visual Manner
Language design and implementation are still one of the challenges in computer science. Programmers use a variety of languages in their daily work, and new languages appear frequently. With formal methods for programming language description a language designer has a chance to automatically generate a compiler or an interpreter. Unfortunately, compiler generators nowadays use linear textual spe...
متن کاملData and Process Alignment in Modula-2*
Exploiting locality is a central goal of translating problem-oriented parallel programming languages for distributed memory parallel machines. Modula-2* places the burden of automatically deriving good data and process distribution on the compiler. In this paper we present a technique implemented in our optimizing compiler that enhances locality in a source-to-source transformation. Analysis of...
متن کاملType Inference to Optimize a Hybrid Statically and Dynamically Typed Language
Dynamically typed languages are becoming increasingly popular for different software development scenarios such as Web engineering, rapid prototyping, or the construction of applications that require runtime adaptiveness. In contrast, statically typed languages have undeniable advantages such as early type error detection and more opportunities for compiler optimizations. Since both approaches ...
