EM is a family of intermediate languages
|
|
|
|
|
designed for producing portable compilers.
|
|
|
|
|
A program called
|
|
|
|
|
.B front end
|
|
|
|
|
translates source programs to EM.
|
|
|
|
|
Another program,
|
|
|
|
|
.B back
|
|
|
|
|
.BW end ,
|
|
|
|
|
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.
