description: The RL files contain code for defining Relational Grammars and
using them in a bottom-up parser to recognize and/or parse
expressions in Relational Languages. The approach is a
simplification of that described in Wittenburg, Weitzman, and
Talley (1991), Unification-Based Grammars and Tabular Parsing
for Graphical Languages, Journal of Visual Languages and
Computing 2:347-370.
This code is designed to support the definition and parsing of
Relational Languages, which are characterized as sets of
objects standing in user-defined relations. Correctness and
completeness is independent of the order in which the input is
given to the parser. Data to be parsed can be in many forms as
long as an interface is supported for queries and predicates
for the relations used in grammar productions. To date, this
software has been used to parse recursive pen-based input such
as math expressions and flowcharts; to check for data integrity
and design conformance in databases; to automatically generate
constraints in drag-and-drop style graphical interfaces; and to
generate graphical displays by parsing relational data and
generating output code.

description: A better characterization is that S/SL is a language
explicitly designed for making efficient recusive-descent
parsers. Unlike most other languages, practicially the
LEAST expensive thing you can do in S/SL is recur. A
small language that defines input/output/error token
names (& values), semantic operations (which are really
escapes to a programming language but allow good
abstration in the pseudo-code), and a pseudo-code
program that defines a grammar by the token stream the
program accepts. Alternation, control flow, and
1-symbol lookahead constructs are part of the
language. What I call an S/SL "implementation", is a
program that compiles this S/SL pseudo-code into a
table (think byte-codes) that is interpreted by the
S/SL table-walker (interpreter). I think the pseudo-code
language is LR(1), and that the semantic mechanisms turn it
into LR(N) relatively easily.

description: TXL is a language for performing source to source
transformations and is well suited for rapidly prototyping
new languages and language processors. It has also been used to
prototype specification languages, command languages, and more
traditional program transformation tasks such as constant
folding, type inference, source optimization and reverse
engineering. TXL takes as input an arbitrary context-free
grammar in extended BNF-like notation, and a set of
show-by-example transformation rules to be applied to inputs
parsed using the grammar. TXL is a functional/rule-based
hybrid programming language, using the paradigm of structural
transformation.

It is an object oriented framework within which diverse models

Ptolemy a data-flow system can be easily connected to a
hardware simulator which in turn may be connected to a
discrete-event system, etc. Because of this, Ptolemy can be
used to model entire systems.
In addition, Ptolemy now has code generation capabilities.
From a flow graph description, Ptolemy can generate both C code
and DSP assembly code for rapid prototyping. Note that code
generation is not yet complete, and is included in the current
release for demonstration purposes only.

OSI Application protocols such as X.400 MHS (email) and
X.500 directory and others protocols such as SNMP use ASN.1
to describe the PDUs they exchange.
Snacc compiles 1990 ASN.1 (including some macros) data
structures into C, C++ or type tables. The generated
C/C++ includes a .h file with the equivalent data struct
and a .c/.C file for the BER encode and decode, print and
free routines.

translate IDL into client side and server side routines for
remote communication in the same manner as the currrent Sun
RPCL compiler. The additional degree of freedom that the IDL
compiler front end provides is that it allows integration of
new back ends which can translate IDL to various programming
languages. Several companies including Sunsoft are building
back ends to the CFE which translate IDL into target languages,
e.g. Pascal or C++, in the context of planned CORBA-compliant
products.

sun4-bin: ftp pub/unix/PROGRES/? from ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
description: PROGRES is an integrated environment for a very high level
programming language which has a formally defined semantics
based on "PROgrammed Graph Rewriting Systems". This language
supports the following programming paradigms/purposes: 1)
Structurally object-oriented specification of attributed graph
structures with multiple inheritance hierarchies and types of
types (for parametric polymorphy). 2) Declarative/relational
specification of derived attributes, node sets, binary
relationships (directed edges), and Boolean constraints. 3)
Rule-oriented/visual specification of parameterized graph
rewrite rules with complex application conditions. 4)
Nondeterministic & imperative programming of composite graph
transformations (with built-in backtracking and cancelling
arbitrary sequences of failing graph modifications).
Therefore, PROGRES may be used as 1) a very high level
programming language for implementing abstract data types with
a graph-like internal structure, 2) a visual database
programming language for the graph-oriented database system
GRAS (which is available as free software under the GNU license
conditions), 3) a rule-oriented language for rapid prototyping
nondeterministically specified data/rule base transformations.
Furthermore, PROGRES is an almost statically typed language
which additionally offers "down casting" operators for runtime
checked type casting/conversion (in order to avoid severe
restrictions concerning the language's expressiveness).
PROGRESS is meant to be used with GRAS, which is also available

description: INTERCAL is possibly the most elaborate and long-lived joke
in the history of programming languages. It was first designed
by Don Woods and Jim Lyons in 1972 as a deliberate attempt
to produce a language as unlike any existing one as possible.
The manual, describing features of horrifying uniqueness,
became an underground classic. ESR wrote C-INTERCAL in 1990
as a break from editing _The_New_Hacker's_Dictionary_, adding
to it the first implementation of COME FROM under its own name.
The compiler has since been maintained and extended by an
international community of technomasochists. The distribution
includes extensive documentation and a program library.
C-INTERCAL is actually an INTERCAL-to-C source translator which
then calls the local C compiler to generate a binary. The code
is thus quite portable.

restriction: Most GNU programs are CopyLeft'ed. That means that they
are distributed under the terms of the GNU General
Public License or GNU Library General Public License.
The CopyLeft is only a concern if you want to use
actual GNU code in your program. Using Gcc or any of
the other tools is completely safe from a copyright
point-of-view with the sole exception of bison which
includes GNU code in its output. If you use a GNU
library, you must supply an unlinked version of your
program.
