Description:
Adaptor is a tool that transforms data parallel programs written in Fortran with array extensions, parallel loops, and layout directives to parallel programs with explicit message passing.

ADAPTOR is not a compiler but a source to source transformation that generates Fortran 77 host and node programs with message passing. The new generated source codes have to be compiled by the compiler of the parallel machine.

Description:
ae (the "application executive") is a C interpreter library which is compiled with an application; hence, the interpreter exists in the same process and address space. it includes a dbx symbol table scanner to access compiled vars & routines, or you can enter them manually by providing a type/name declaration and the address. when the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments are read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and evaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functions in addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new data types and data objects, etc. Different input streams can be evaluated in parallel on alliant machines. Version 2 differs substantially in that the code fragments are read into an intermediate form before being evaluated, and can be stored in this form and then called from either user code or the interpreter. Version 2 also handles looping constructs (and the full C language), unlike version 1.

Description:
c2man is an automatic documentation tool that extracts comments from C source code to generate functional interface documentation in the same format as sections 2 & 3 of the Unix Programmer's Manual. It requires minimal effort from the programmer by looking for comments in the usual places near the objects they document, rather than imposing a rigid function-comment syntax or requiring that the programmer learn and use a typesetting language. Acceptable documentation can often be generated from existing code with no modifications.
Conformance:
supports both K&R and ISO/ANSI C coding styles
Features:
+
generates output in nroff -man, TeXinfo, LaTeX or HTML format
+
handles comments as part of the language grammar
+
automagically documents enum parameter & return values
+
handles C (/* */) and C++ (//) style comments
-
doesn't handle C++ grammar (yet)
Requires:

Ports:

Portability:

Description:
The current revision, 0.6, is interfaced with Fraser and Hanson's lcc front end. The result is a highly fast C compiler with good code selection and no global optimization. Project Status: Chop compiles and runs a number of small test programs on the Vax. I'm currently updating the NS32k and 68K retargets for lcc compatibility. After I get them working, I'll work on getting the system to compile itself, get struct assignments working, improve the code quality and compile speed, and run the SPEC benchmarks. That will be rev 1.0.

Description:
CLP(R) is a constraint logic programming language with real-arithmetic constraints. The implementation contains a built-in constraint solver which deals with linear arithmetic and contains a mechanism for delaying nonlinear constraints until they become linear. Since CLP(R) subsumes PROLOG, the system is also usable as a general-purpose logic programming language. There are also powerful facilities for meta programming with constraints. Significant CLP(R) applications have been published in diverse areas such as molecular biology, finance, physical modelling, etc. We are distributing CLP(R) in order to help widen the use of constraint programming, and to solicit feedback on the system

The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a common graphical user interface to GDB, DBX, and XDB, the popular UNIX debuggers. Besides ``usual'' features such as viewing source texts and breakpoints, DDD provides a graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. A simple mouse click dereferences pointers or reveals structure contents, updated each time the program stops. Using DDD, you can reason about your application by viewing its data, not just by viewing it execute lines of source code.

FUDGIT is also an expression language interpreter understanding most of C grammar except pointers. Morever, FUDGIT is a front end for any plotting program supporting commands from stdin. It is a nice mathematical complement to GNUPLOT, for example. Ported to Linux by Thomas Koenig

Description:
This is a garbage colecting storage allocator that is intended to be used as a plug-in replacement for C's malloc. Since the collector does not require pointers to be tagged, it does not attempt to ensure that all inaccessible storage is reclaimed. However, in our experience, it is typically more successful at reclaiming unused memory than most C programs using explicit deallocation. Unlike manually introduced leaks, the amount of unreclaimed memory typically stays bounded.

Description:
A very high quality, very portable compiler for C, C++, Objective-C. The compiler is designed to support multiple front-ends and multiple back-ends by translating first into RTL (Register Transfer Language) and from there into assembly for the target architecture. Front ends for Ada, Pascal, and Fortran are all under development. There is a bounds checking port based on gcc 2.7.1. Patches for this port are available at: ftp://dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/misc/bcc
Conformance:
C: superset of K&R C and ANSI C.

C++: supports most ARM features; exceptions supported only on some platforms. Supports "bool". Alpha-level RTTI implementation included. Not yet supported: member templates, namespaces. Developers are tracking the draft ANSI/ISO standard and are committee members.

Objective-C: Complies with NeXT proposed (ANSI?) standard.

It is similar to the language APL, departing from APL in using using the ASCII alphabet exclusively, but employing a spelling scheme that retains the advantages of the special alphabet required by APL. It has added features and control structures that extend its power beyond standard APL. Although it can be used as a conventional procedural programming language, it can also be used as a pure functional programming language.

Conformance:
They claim, very conformant. The package includes implementation-independent descriptions of the ISO C API, POSIX, XPG3 and other APIs.
Reference:

Features:
+
Well-documented; clean implementation
+
includes the relevant tools (lexer, parser generator, etc.)
-
Does not have an extensive C++ library (either API or implementation), and producing this is probably non-trivial
+
can dump symbol table to file, providing the raw materials for further analysis (type, function, variable, usage, etc.)
+
can perform analysis for portability, with fine-grained control
+
reports syntax errors with ISO reference
+
producers (C/C++ to TDF translators) are portable
-
installers (TDF to executable translators, and API implementations) exist for a limited number of platforms

Davidson/Fraser peephole optimizer PO [1-3] [where the GCC RTL idea and other optimization ideas came from] along with the Y compiler [cross between C+ratfor] is ftpable from ftp.cs.princeton.edu: /pub/y+po.tar.Z. It is a copy of the original distribution from the University of Arizona during the early 80's, totally unsupported, almost forgotten [do not bug the authors] old code, possibly of interest to compiler/language hackers.

Description:
ZPL is a new array programming language designed from first principles for fast execution on both sequential and parallel computers. ZPL benefits from recent parallel compiler research, though code from existing sequential Fortran and C programs can often be reused. Programmers with scientific computing experience can learn ZPL in a few hours.
