description:	A very high quality, very portable compiler for C, C++,
		Objective-C.  The compiler is designed to support multiple
		front-ends and multiple back-ends by translating first
		into RTL (Register Transfer Language) and from there into
		assembly for the target architecture.	Front ends for
		Ada, Pascal, and Fortran are all under development.
		There is a bounds checking port based on gcc 2.7.1.
		Patches for this port are available at:
conformance:	C: superset of K&R C and ANSI C.
		C++: supports most ARM features; exceptions supported
		only on some platforms.	 Supports "bool".  Alpha-level
		RTTI implementation included. Not yet supported: member
		templates, namespaces.	Developers are tracking the draft
		ANSI/ISO standard and are committee members.
		Objective-C: Complies with NeXT proposed (ANSI?) standard.

		broken up into parts that go to Fortran 77, and the rest goes

		improved performance over generating C alone in many cases

		streams can be evaluated in parallel on alliant machines.
		Version 2 differs substantially in that the code
		fragments are read into an intermediate form before being
		evaluated, and can be stored in this form and then called
		from either user code or the interpreter. Version 2 also
		handles looping constructs (and the full C language),

		However, in our experience, it is typically more successful at
		reclaiming unused memory than most C programs using explicit
		deallocation.  Unlike manually introduced leaks, the amount of
		unreclaimed memory typically stays bounded.

version:	1
parts:		compiler, documentation
author:		Robin Vowels <robin_vowels@rmit.edu.au>
location:	mail to author
description:	The compiler is a standard implementation of XPL and is based
		on McKeeman, Horning, and Wortman's improved XCOM (which
		employs hashed symbol table generation).  It includes the extra
		built-in function COREHALFWORD.
		The following areas have been optimized: procedures calls when
		the argument and corresponding parameter are of the same type,
		and when the argument is a constant; constant subscripts; use
		of CORELHALFWORD and COREWORD; string constants of length one;
		iterative DO statements by transferring code to the end of the
		String constants of length one do not require a descriptor,
		hence more descriptors are available for string variables.
		Comparison operations are treated as commutative, and an
		improved Commute algorithm is used.  Halfword instructions are
		generated for BIT(16) variables.
		The compiler achieves an 11% reduction in object code
		increase in compilation speed when the $E toggle is set.
		Special treatment for catenating a string to an integer
		substantially decreases consumption of the free string area,
		and decreases string moves.  The latter improvement is most
		noticeable on small core machines.
		Core requirements: less than the improved XCOM on which it is

		dynamically linking foreign functions, changing programs within
		Self, and the ability to run the experimental Self graphical
		browser under OpenWindows.
		Designed for expressive power and malleability, Self combines a
		pure, prototype-based object model with uniform access to state
		and behavior. Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to
		inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance
		dynamically. Self's customizing compiler can generate very

desciption:	Trellis is an object-oriented language developed within Digital
		Equipment Corp. The language features compile-time type
		checking, multiple inheritance, parametrized types, exception
		handling and iterators.
		Currently the run-time system does not support garbage collection
		or threads.

description:	TOM is an object oriented language developed as a better
		Objective-C.  It doesn't suffer the `C' part (in a way
		similar to Java) and the `Objective' part is much enhanced.
conformance:	the C files generated by the compiler need to be processed
		by GNU CC.  The runtime library needs GCC as well; the
		compiler and some other tools are written in Objective-C.
reference:	http://tom.ics.ele.tue.nl:8080/ lists more documentation.
features:	The language promotes usability, as opposed to reusability.
		To this extent:
		+ classes are extensible entities: a class is fully defined
		by its main definition and any extensions defined for it,
		+ an extension can add and replace methods.  In support of
		complex added behaviour, an extension can add instance
		variables.  To promote object reusability, an extension can
		introduce additional superclasses,
		+ extensions can be added to a program at compile, link, or
		run time.
bugs:		mail them to <tiggr@ics.ele.tue.nl>
restriction:	tools: GNU General Public License,
		libraries: GNU Library General Public License.
requires:	to build: GNU CC, GNU Make, Bison, Flex, Tiggr's
		Objective-C Library (available from the same site as TOM)
		(plus anything needed by autoconf generated scripts).
		to use: GNU CC.
ports:		hppa-hpux, i386-freebsd, i386-linux, i386-nextstep3,
		m68k-nextstep3, ppc-linux.
portability:	very high: porting to a new machine takes a few hours.
		Provide the author with an account on the UNIX machine of
		your choice, and the port will be created (and maintained
		if the account persists).
