EM is a family of intermediate languages
|
|
|
|
|
designed for producing portable compilers.
|
1993-03-30 15:43:44 +00:00
|
|
|
A program called \fBfront end\fP
|
1984-06-29 14:46:39 +00:00
|
|
|
translates source programs to EM.
|
1993-03-30 15:43:44 +00:00
|
|
|
Another program, \fBback end\fP,
|
1984-06-29 14:46:39 +00:00
|
|
|
translates EM to the assembly language of the target machine.
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the EM program can be assembled to a highly
|
|
|
|
|
efficient binary format for interpretation.
|
|
|
|
|
This document describes the EM languages in detail.
