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 [email protected].
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.

Distribution

All source in ANSI C, compiler-compiler source in BNF, various
examples. Complete distributions available from

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).

Related Services

Archelon provides consulting services for the development of compilers
and related tools. In particular, we provide a retargeting service for
our User Regargetable Development Tools.

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.

Distribution

Delivered on CDROM

Platform

Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000

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).

Platform

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

GUIDELINES for using the entry form: Please replace the text in angle brackets
(<>) with the relevant information. The form provides four topics: TOOL,
SPECIFICATION, COMPONENT and RELATED SERVICES. There has to be at least one of
these topics, but at most one RELATED SERVICES:

* TOOL refers to self standing software products;
* SPECIFICATION refers to specifications of formal languages accepted by
any of the tools;
* COMPONENT refers to software components which can be integrated with
software products of potential customers.

The topics are described by several subtopics. Subtopics may be omitted if the
information is available from the context. Subtopics <text> may be answered
with up to five lines of free form ASCII text. Lines shall not be more than 70
characters long, they should be indented properly. All other subtopics shall
be described with only a few words. "Feature" descriptions should cover input,
output and implementation languages.
