Hi all: I'm William Gilreath, and have a strong interest in programming languages/compilers, in fact, currently developing my own (visit my homepage, there is...
... Hi Will, welcome to the group! Yep, there's folks here, we just haven't had much to talk about lately - conversation perks up whenever anyone is actively...
Hi Graham, and everyone: I thought I'd dive in by saying I welcome criticism or feedback, Mynx is not a perfect language, it is a tool, and not all tools are...
Hello Graham: I've put a PDF with the Mynx BNF up...I'm in the process of uploading material, for example the JavaCC grammar file for Mynx perhaps. I've been...
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a tool to draw a railroad syntax diagram and I stumbled on the Diagrams program in the Elegant tool suite. It converts...
... Hi Graham, This is my first time with svn also. I needed an excuse to switch from cvs. First, can you access the url directly through a browser? ...
... Unfortunately yes, my home firewall includes a proxy. Howevert I'll try downloading it from work, where the firewall doesn't include a proxy. This is the...
Hi Graham: Sometimes I think some software installs are like a software peepshow...:) Will ... minutes so far, I'd ... HUGE!!!".[1] ... judging, but I ... ...
... 11221 files. It is a little big. Remember I didn't make up the name (or write the code). It was originally done at Philips several years ago. It looks kind...
Hi everybody: I'm working on a discussion of parsing, and I discuss parsing without being specific, at a high-level perspective. Basically, I specify the ...
When I was generating code for msdos I used to use dynamic linking using Dynamic linkers of my own design. Now that I develop systems for linux and Windows I...

The above is a project I am about to start. Any input would be welcome. 1) I Use MS Development Studio 2003 2) C# & or C++ No doubt I'll be back with more...
... I code in C# and I'd recommend using the Visual Studio 2005 Express version because it's free and anyone could join in. Not to mention you get better...
... You could also consider leveraging the DotGNU/Portable .NET project. They have a set of tools written in C (including C# compiler). Mono has a set of tools...
Good day to you all, it has been a while since I have explored and posted here and I'm glad to finally be back. Unfortunately in my absence I have gotten a ...
... eventually move ... That's a good idea. ... Tree (AST): Why? It's easier to generate the code as you are parsing it. Do you have any reason for doing this...
... you ... We've covered many reasons for doing so in this group. Generating code as you parse is fine for a non-optimising compiler or just peephole...
Hi folks, a while ago, I started teaching myself Intel assembler (on Mac OS X). I've documented some of my findings in my blog, and since I also experimented...
... Thanks, I'll dig down to see what I can find. Because I honestly can't understand that there are so large advantages to doing that. Probably if you going...
... Let me see if I understood you correctly: you generate code on the fly while parsing, right? The very basic optimizations need control-flow and data-flow ...
... I assume you want to use a register for 'i'? It doesn't matter if 'i' is modified in the loop. But it can be done in two ways. The first one, simple loop...
... Wrong assumption: I mean real optimizations like loop unrolling and vectorization. ... And what will you do when you run out of registers because you have...
Hi folks; I've been sitting this one out because I wanted to see what arguments our new poster had and because I was already somewhat ambivalent about the...
I have tried to find some examples of how people have implemented their stack in their virtual machines and unfortunately have not come across many examples...
... Don't take any of this as gospel, I'm just thinking aloud here... 1: are there ever any circumstances when you *don't* know the type/size of all the...
... I'd generally agree with what Graham said: In most traditional languages you'll know what size your types are, so you can just push that many bytes on the...
... Since you said that you were making a "very basic compiler" I incorrectly assumed that a "very basic compiler" wasn't about to target the top 10% of the...
By the way, could you supply a working email address please? I was mailing you to say I'd taken you off moderation so that you could post without delays, when...
