BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-68-98 ENTRY:: December 20, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: ALGOL W implementation TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Bauer, Henry R. AUTHOR:: Becker, Sheldon I. AUTHOR:: Graham, Susan L. DATE:: May 1968 PAGES:: 153 ABSTRACT:: In writing a compiler of a new language (ALGOL W) for a new machine (IBM System/360) we were forced to deal with many unforeseen problems in addition to the problems we expected to encounter. This report describes the final version of the compiler. The implemented language ALGOL W is based on the Wirth/Hoare proposal for a successor to ALGOL 60. The major differences from that proposal are in string definition and operations and in complex number representation. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19951220] END:: STAN//CS-TR-68-98
