Abstract

The Charrette Ada compiler is a working compiler for a substantial subset of the preliminary Ada language. The Ada source program is translated into an equivalent program in an intermediate implementation language. The result of the compilation process is machine language generated for this intermediate program. This paper provides a brief overview of the compiler with special attention given to the primary translation phase. Emphasis is placed on the transformation of Ada type and subtype information and the representation of objects. The translation of several interesting statement and expression forms is also outlined.
