Abstract
A locally built Modula-2 compiler has been used for number of years in our School. The messages that are emitted from the compiler when run by first and final year students have been logged. Over the last two years we have been improving the usefulness of these messages. This paper presents an analysis of these results.

Compiler algorithm language (CAL): an interpreter and compiler
ACST'07: Proceedings of the third conference on IASTED International Conference: Advances in Computer Science and TechnologyWe have designed a Compiler Algorithm Language (CAL) to provide compiler writers with a language which is close to actual algorithmic notation. In this work, we have developed an interpreter and debugger for CAL which can be used by researchers for ...
Partial Evaluation of Computation Process—AnApproach to a Compiler-Compiler
This paper reports the relationship between formal description of semantics (i.e., interpreter) of a programming language and an actual compiler. The paper also describes a method to automatically generate an actual compiler from a formal description which ...
