Design automation of a machine-independent code generator

  • Description: As both computer languages and architectures continue to proliferate, there is a continuing need for new compilers. Researchers have attempted to ease the work of producing compilers by developing methods to automate compiler writing. While much work has been done (and considerable success achieved) in writing parsers which can handle a variety of source languages (using mainly table-driven analysis methods), less progress has been made in formalizing the code generation end of the compiler. Nevertheless, some of the more recent publications in code generation stress portability or retargetability of the resulting compiler. A number of code generator synthesisers have been developed, some of which produce code that can be compared in quality with that produced by a conventional code generator. However, because of the complexity of generalizing the mapping from source language to target machine, and the need for efficiency of various kinds, code generator synthesisers are large, complicated programs. Consequently, the person who develops a code generator using one of these tools invariably needs to be a code generation specialist himself. Many compilers follow a pattern of having a front end which generates intermediate code, and a back end which converts intermediate code to machine code. The intermediate code is effectively machine independent, or can be designed that way. With these points in mind, we have set out to write a system of programs which -- 1. will allow the generation of such a back end in a reasonably short time, for a general intermediate code, and for a general machine code, and -- 2. can be used by anyone who has a sound knowledge of the target machine's architecture and associated assembler language, but is not necessarily a specialist compiler writer. The system consists of a series of friendly, interactive programs by means of which the user sets up tables defining the architecture and assembly level instructions for the target machine, and the code templates onto which intermediate codes produced by a parser have been mapped. A general notation has been developed to represent machine instructions using the same format as the target assembler. Thus the code generator writer is able to write code sequences to perform the effects of the intermediate codes, using assembly mnemonics familiar to him. The resultant table-driven code generator simply replaces a sequence of intermediate codes by their respective code templates, relocating them in memory and filling in addresses known only at code-generation time. This thesis describes the use and implementation details of this generalized code generation system. As an example, the implementation of a code generator for a CLANG [23] parser on an 8080 processor is described. The discussion also includes guide-lines on how to implement a loader and associated run-time routines for use in executing the object code. The results of a number of bench-marks have shown, as expected, that code produced by a code generator developed in this manner is larger and slower than that from a special purpose optimizing code generator, but is still several times faster than interpreting the intermediate code. The major benefit to be gained from using this system lies in the shorter development time by a less skilled person. , KMBT_223 , Adobe Acrobat 9.53 Paper Capture Plug-in

Goethe's theory of colours: Rudolf Steiner's foundation for an impulse in painting

  • Description: From Introduction: In his influential treatise, Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Wassily Kandinsky refers to Goethe's "prophetic remark" made in connection with the relationship between the arts in which Goethe had asserted that "painting must count this relationship her main foundation". Kandinsky went on to say that Painting in his day stood "at the first stage of a road by which she abstraction of composition". I will, according to her thought and arrive own possibilities, make art an finally at purely artistic What he seems to have been suggesting is that form, colour and sound are differentiated expressions of a unifying spiritual content, that this spiritual content lives also somehow in the human soul and that it is the new task of the artist to awaken original creativity from out of this spirit by working consciously in creative empathy with the laws implicit in form, colour and sound. The extent to which this view of creativity is indebted to Goethe is only fully realised when it is discovered how closely Kandinsky's writings on colour recapitulate his. In an unpublished essay: Goethe's Theory of Colours : Its relation to some aspects in . the history of Art, Michael Grimly argues that not only Kandinsky in Germany but also Chevreul, the colour-theoretician who was, in France, the leading light, in a technical sense, both of Delacroix and of the Impressionists simply repeats in his writings on Colour many of the ideas that Goethe had already formulated.

Some aspects of the teaching of English as a main language at the secondary level with special reference to the question of 'language'

  • Authors: Crampton, Michael Edward

  • Description: From Introduction: A training in English literature followed by a limited number of English method lectures on how to teach a prescribed Victorian novel proved inadequate in these circumstances. Moreover, several years of interaction with colleagues in staff rooms, conferences and seminars in England and South Africa failed to yield a secure sense of purpose or a confident understanding of why, when and how to teach what in the English lesson. Too many amateurs are employed to teach English. Barn dancers might as well teach ballet. Yet for all that, there grew a conviction, reinforced by the vital involvement of many inspiring colleagues, that English teaching is the mainspring of the educational process where that language is the medium of education. The hope of making some contribution to the advancement of the English teaching profession, especially for the benefit of those who look up, hoping to learn, is sufficient motivation for this work. The endeavour will be, in the first place, to review some traditional aspects of English teaching in their historical context. A description of the traditional sources upon which the profession intuitively draws might assist in explaining the existence of certain attitudes. In chapters 2-4 an analysis of current thinking, directions and practices will aim to explore some aspects of what English teaching in schools is, when and how it happens and to what end. The direction in which the profession is moving will be weighed against the relevance of school English in the further learning experiences of school leavers before conclusions and recommendations are listed. Throughout, the purpose will be to contribute insights into the practice of teaching English as a main language. The term 'main language' has been deliberately chosen. Growing numbers of South Africans might be described as English L2 'main language' speakers in the sense that though Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa or Gujarati might be regarded as their 'first' language , English is the language which they mainly use in the ordinary business of life, in the home, at work and at play. The situation is fluid and interactive. Many adult speakers are in the process of assuming English as a main language. Small groups at work (and increasingly in lecture halls and classrooms) might, in learning contexts use English mainly as a means of interaction but include a variety of native Ianguage speakers from Armenian to ZuIu. The concept of English as a 'main' as distinct from 'first' or 'second' language seems to be gaining fresh significance. The fact that it is no longer safe to assume that main language English speakers will all be drawn from uniform speech communities, has major implications for the teaching of the subject; implications that will rapidly become more significant with the eradication of apartheid from our society. In this study, focus will be upon the teaching of the subject at the secondary level. Within that area particular emphasis will fall upon the final three years of schooling. With the approach of the matriculation examination many schools begin to rattle their shackles, bringing 'English specialists' to bear on prescribed works and increasing the intensity of tests and mock examinations. The leisurely dalliance with projects and casual affairs with creative work associated with English in the early years, can be forgotten as attention is confined with increasing intensity on possible examination questions . Thus the opportunity to finish what has been begun is often wasted. Where added impetus and direction could be given in the final years to interest, enjoyment and abilities fostered at primary and junior secondary levels, preoccupation with an irrelevant literary erudition, with disjointed comprehension passages and spurious essay topics, can stifle natural growth. On the other hand it must be acknowledged that the impetus provided by the final examination can channel energy and produce insights that might otherwise have remained dormant. Thus, while the final three years of schooling are educationally no more important than any other phase in the twelve years schooling, they do III involve important issues within the writer's range of experience.
