Abstract
  • This thesis describes a syntax-directed compiler-compiler called COMCOM which has been implemented by the author on the CDC 3300 under the OS-3 operating system. The theory and terminology of the parsing method and compiler-compilers in general are briefly discussed. COMCOM uses Floyd's operator precedence bottom-up parsing technique which avoids backup and is very efficient. The syntactic metalanguage is similar to Backus-Naur Form. The source language semantics may be composed using a library of supplied routines or the user can expand the semantic capabilities by writing semantic routines in COMPASS or FORTRAN. System features available to the user and methods to bypass shortcomings of the theory are described. The system is briefly compared to the META/OS-3 compiler writing system which uses a top-down parsing technique. Simplified versions of the algorithms, and a simple compiler built using COMCOM are included.
