| 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. | |

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. | |

| 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. | |

It provides the standard functions necessary to pass the usual test suites. This new libm can be configured to handle exceptions in accordance with various language standards or in the spirit of IEEE 754. The C source code should be portable to any IEEE 754 system with minimal difficulty. | |

| 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. | |

MPL is based on ANSI C and includes SIMD language estensions.
The new keyword "plural" is a type qualifier which is used
to declare variables on a parallel array. For example, the
declaration "plural int i" declares an "i" on each of the
parallel processors.
In addition, plural expressions can be used in IF, WHILE, SWITCH, and other statements to support plural control flow. The MPL compiler is based on the GNU compiler. | |

| TenDRA is an implementation of TDF, which was adopted by the Open Group, where it is called ANDF. Its core is a binary format, TDF, which can be architecture-neutral or architecture-specific, and which can be conveniently manipulated. | |
| They claim, very conformant. The package includes implementation-independent descriptions of the ISO C API, POSIX, XPG3 and other APIs. | |

The C grammar is CLEAN, it does not use %prec, %assoc, and
has only one shift-reduce conflict. The C++ grammar has
a few conflicts.
Also included is an extension to byacc that produces graphical parse trees automatically. | |
| the C grammar is true ANSI; the C++ grammar supports cfront 2.0 constructs. | |
