Catalog of Compiler Construction Products - Eighteenth Issue

This posting may be reproduced in any form without further permission, as long as it is left unchanged. 
August 2001, transformal GmbH, Berlin. 

EIGHTEENTH ISSUE 

This catalog lists products and services for the construction of programming language compilers and related programming tools. It covers compiler generators, corresponding grammars, reusable parts of compilers, reusable parts of other programming tools and related consulting or programming services. 

The catalog provides only technical information. Potential customers have to inquire at the given address about prices and licensing policies. (For a catalog of free software see the "Catalog of Free Compilers and Interpreters".) 

All the listed products are available now in a form suitable for production use. They shall exhibit professional quality and have long term support. 

The entries are submitted voluntarily. Apart from tracking complaints about inappropriate entries no quality control of the entries is applied. Therefore I do not assume any liability for listed entries. 

The catalog is posted monthly on comp.compilers and is available online at www.transformal.com/CCCP/. Updates are incorporated at least twice a year. If you want to submit an update send the filled form to cccp@transformal.com. Updates that do not make use of the form or do not comply with the guidelines given at the end will not be considered. Entries have to be provided as ASCII text files according to the instructions given at the end of this document. If they shall be incorporated into the respective Web pages, they have to be provided as HTML files as well.

Tool

    Recursive Descent Compiler generator
    RDP 

    Features

      RDP takes an attributed very-extended BNF and analyses it for LL(1) conformance providing detailed error and warning messages. It outputs ANSI C and links against a library of general purpose routines that provide set handling, command line switch processing, symbol table management and more. RDP is very easy to use.

Tool

    C compiler and related tools
    User Retargetable Development Tools II (URDT) 

    Features

      The URDT set includes an ANSI C compiler, compactor, assembler, linker, and related tools. It allows you to "roll your own" C compiler and related tools. You do retargets by writing text files, which are read in by these programs when they run. Please see our web page at "http://www.archelon.com" for details. 

    Distribution and Platform

      Binary versions available for DOS (32 bit), SunOs 4.x.x, Solaris 2.x, HP-UX. Source licences available, as well. 

Component

    C compiler
    MCC ANSI C compiler 

    Features

      You target MCC to a specific machine by writing a text file which includes a machine description and code tables. You do not need to know compiler internals. The compiler includes output macros which allow you to output code for any assembler, as well as our own. Can handle a wide variety of machines, including DSPs and microprammable machines. 

    Distribution and Platform

      Part of URDT (see above). 

Component

    Compactor/Scheduler/Optimizing Assembler
    MCPACK Compactor/Scheduler 

    Features

      MCPACK gives you a way to implement low level translator tools. It reads a control file, which you must write. The control file describes the layout of instructions and provides procedures for translating input statements into instructions. You may provide rules for scheduling and compaction in the file. 

    Distribution and Platform

      Part of URDT (see above). 

Component

    Assembler
    MCASR assembler 

    Features

      MCASR is a "bit-stuffing" assembler, driven from a user written text file which describes the fields of the instructions. An instruction word can be up to 256 bits wide and may contain multiple relocatable fields. Such a field may be set with only a subset of the bits of the full address. 

    Distribution and Platform

      Part of URDT (see above). 

Component

    Linker
    MCLINK linker 

    Features

      MCLINK supports up to eight independent overlapping memory address spaces, so it can, for instance, easily support DSP architectures with X and Y memories. 

    Distribution and Platform

      Part of URDT (see above).

    DMS Reengineering Toolkit

    Features

      The DMS Reengineering toolkit enable the specification and automated analysis or modification of legacy and/or specification lanaguages. The toolkit parses source files to abstract syntax trees, and then can carry attribute evaluation for analyses, and/or tree-to-tree rewrites to carry out modifications. 
      Included are a GLR parser generator (will parse any context-free language) to build parser that produces compact ASTs (to allow reading very large source systems of a million lines in a single workstation), a pretty-printer generator to convert ASTs back to printed form, an attribute-evaluator generator, a term rewriting system that operates on the surface syntax of the desired language. See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html for more details. 
      One can define legacy languages, or take advantage of the wide variety of legacy language definitions already made by Semantic Designs, including C/C++, COBOL. Fortran, Ada, etc.

Tool

    Interpreter construction 
    ULC -- Uniform Languages of Composition 

    Features

      Fast, incremental construction of interpreters for polymorphic, statically typed (scripting) languages. The ease comes at the price of adhering to fixed syntactic principles. New semantic routines can be added incrementally. Commands can be compiled and linked with the semantic libraries (experimental). 

      The distribution of ULC contains various contributions to languages, including a language HTEL that is essentially an HTML-algebra (i.e. HTML+operations+variables). 

    Distribution

    Platform

      Linux / GNU C 
      Windows / GNU C (prerelease versions succesfully tested) 
      GNU C extensions are essential.
