Abstract

The study of the inner-workings of a compiler can be greatly simplified through use of a visible compiler. A visible compiler allows close inspection of the compilation process as a "real" program is being compiled. In this paper we present VCOCO (Visible COmpiler COmpiler), a program that generates LL(1) visible compilers.
