The Linear Graph package is a collection of software tools that provides a software development environment particularly well suited to compiler construction. More precisely, the Linear Graph (or “LG”) package is a generic specification of these tools. No specific implementation language or host computer system is presumed, and, in fact, LG packages have been built in several languages on a variety of computers. These LG packages have proved to be powerful tools. We have used LG to build two FORTRAN-77 compilers, a JOVIAL compiler, and a Pascal compiler; we are presently using LG to build a CHILL compiler, an Ada* compiler, a third FORTRAN-77 compiler, and an optimizer for the JOVIAL compiler. We have also used LG to build some related support software: the linker used with the Pascal compiler, and a global symbol data base system for the JOVIAL and Pascal compilers. The LG package simplified the design, implementation, and maintenance of these compilers and support programs.
