Software engineers are faced with a dilemma. They want to write general and wellstructured
programs that are flexible and easy to maintain. On the other hand, generality has a price …

lcc is a new retargetable compiler for ANSI C. Versions for the VAX, Motorola 68020,
SPARC, and MIPS are in production use at Princeton University and at AT&T Bell …

This paper presents a set of tools supporting the construction of nearly every compiler
phase. Design goals of this tool box have been practical usability, significantly reduced effort …

Sam is an interactive multi‐file text editor intended for bitmap displays. A textual command
language supplements the mouse‐driven, cut‐and‐paste interface to make complex or …

We describe an integrated collection of algorithms and data structures to serve as the basis
for a practical incremental software development environment. A self-versioning …

We analyze the average-case behaviour of the Next-Fit algorithm for bin-packing, and obtain
closed-form expressions for distributions of interest. Our analysis is based on a novel …

We are developing techniques for building retargetable debuggers. Our prototype, 1db,
debugs C programs compiled for the MIPS R3000, Motorola 68020, SPARC, and VAX …

This paper presents a compiler description language and its implementation Coco/R
(Compiler Compiler for Recursive Descent). Coco/R reads an attributed EBNF grammar of a …

Transaction-level models promise to be the basis of the verification environment for the
whole design process. Realizing this promise requires connecting transaction-level and …

This paper describes a system that accepts compact specifications of an intermediate code
and target machine and produces program code for an integrated code generator and …
