The purpose of this project was to make a Pascal compiler which should satisfy
|
|
the conditions of the ISO standard. The task was considerably simplified,
|
|
because parts of the Modula-2 compiler were used. This gave the advantage of
|
|
increasing the uniformity of the compilers in ACK.

|
While developing the compiler, a number of errors were detected in the Modula-2
|
|
compiler, EM utility modules and the old Pascal compiler.

Special thanks are reserved for Dick Grune, who introduced us to the field of
|
|
Compiler Design and who helped testing the compiler. Ceriel Jacobs, who
|
|
developed LLgen and the Modula-2 compiler of ACK. Finally we would like to
|
|
thank Erik Baalbergen, who had the supervision on this entire project and
|
|
gave us many valuable suggestions.
