The translation and interpretation of stab‐12

Abstract: This paper describes two of the abstract machines used to support the STAB-1 language, and discusses some problems of implementing the language on two different computers, the DEC PDP-11 and CTL's Modular-1. Interpretation of the abstract machine code and direct translation is considered for both computers.

“…The design of the Zed compiler differs from that of other portable compilers [1,8,13,16] in three major ways, and these issues will be examined before describing the compiler in detail. The first difference is that we chose to generate relocatable object code rather than assembly code.…”

“…A compiler translates ILIAD programs into the Virtual Machine Language (VML) which could then be processed in one of four ways: posttranslation to a real machine language (Pasko, 1973), software interpretation (Colin, 1975;Lechner, 1973), firmware (microprogrammed) interpretation (Weber, 1967), or hardware realization (Chesley, 1971). Of these alternatives, software interpretation is best suited to the experimental environment due to its flexibility and low cost.…”
