Abstract:

Grammar-based processor generation is one of the most widely studied areas in language processor construction (Donzeau-Gouge 1984; Aho, Sethi, and Ullman 1986; Kramer and Schmidt 1989; Grosch and Emmelmann 1990). However, there have been very few approaches to date that reconcile object-oriented principles, processor generation, and an object-oriented language. Pertinent here also, is that currently to develop a processor using the Eiffel Parse libraries requires far too much time to be expended on tasks that can be automated. For these reasons, we have developed YooCC (Yes! an ObjectOriented Compiler Compiler), which produces a processor framework from a grammar using an enhanced version of the Eiffel Parse libraries, incorporating the ideas hypothesized by Meyer (1994b), and Grape and Wald'en (1992), as well as many others. Various essential changes have been made to the Eiffel Parse libraries. Examples are presented to illustrate the development of a processor using Y ooCC, and it i...
