Modula-2 Manual

0 ) an Introduction to Modula - 2 (

Modula-2 is a general, efficiently implementable systems programming language, While most of its a-structures are derived from Pascal, it overcomes many of the limitations of that language. It also provides a powerful alternative to Ada, This tutorialwillpresent Modula-2's history and an overview of its features.

Some Elements of Amodula-2 Development Environment

We present some language-specific tools for the development of Modula-2 program systems. Specifically, we elaborate on an extended Modula-2 syntax checker, a makefile generation utility, a Modula-2 structure analyser and a cross reference utility.

Separate compilation in modula-2 and the structure of the modula-2 compiler on the personal computer Lilith

The Modula - 2 * Environment for Parallel

This paper presents a portable parallel programming environment for Modula-2* { an explicitly parallel machine-independent extension of Modula-2. Modula-2* ooers synchronous and asynchronous par-allelism, a global single address space, and automatic data and process distribution. The Modula-2* system consists of a compiler, a debugger, a cross-architecture make, a runtime systems for diierent m...

Experience with Garbage Collection for Modula-2+ in the Topaz Environment

Topaz is an experimental distributed computing environment programmed in Modula-2+, which supports garbage collection. Topaz has been in daily use by about 50 researchers at SRC since 1986. The Modula-2+ garbage collector is concurrent; it combines reference-counting and mark-and-sweep collection. The principal challenges are to reduce the costs of the language primitives, and to reduce the tim...
