About this book
Presents the results of an investigation into the issues
raised by the development of a compiler for APL, a very high
level computer programming language. APL presents a number
of novel problems for a compiler writer: weak variable
typing, run time changes in variable shape, and a host of
primitive operations. Through the integration of several
recently developed compiler construction techniques, such as
data flow analysis, and a novel and space efficient demand
driven or lazy evaluation approach to code generation, the
author has been able to produce a true compiler for the
language while still maintaining the felxibility and ease
that are the hallmarks of APL.
