Catalog of Compiler Construction Products 01-98
This posting may be reproduced in any form without further permission,
as long as it is left unchanged. January 1998, Olaf Langmack.
THIRTEENTH 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
.
Updates are incorporated at least twice a year.
If you want to submit an update send the filled form to
langmack@feinarbeit.de
.
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. 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.
