Abstract

Multimedia application development requires features and concepts currently not supported by common systems programming languages. This paper introduces two new minimal language extensions increasing expressive power, safety and optimization possibilities in multimedia programming. New loop statements are presented to shorten multidimensional array access and optimize its execution. Furthermore, a new data type concept is presented to allow quality of service (QoS) definition on data type declaration level. Both have been implemented in Modula-3 and C#.
