Abstract

This paper describes the front-end processor of an Ada compiler that is under development at Florida State University. The compiler is coded in Pascal, to execute on a CDC Cyber system, and is presently targeted to the Z8000 microprocessor architecture. Owing at least in part to the peculiar origins and changing goals of this project, the front end processor is rather unlike those of the other Ada compilers of which we know. Perhaps its most distinctive feature is that it operates in one pass.
