기존 시각언어 컴파일러 자동화 도구는 시각 구문의 그래픽 정의부분을 명세하고 확장 및 수정하는 방법의 한계로 인해 어휘분석단계를 처리하는데 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 객체지향 시각언어 문법을 기반으로 한 새로운 방식의 문법 기반 자동 생성 시스템인 시각언어 컴파일러 자동 생성 환경(CGE-VL)을 구축한다. 이 시스템은 객체지향 패러다임을 기초로 한 시각언어 컴파일러 구축을 위한 실질적인 도구로 기존의 시각언어 컴파일러 자동화 도구와는 구별되는 객체지향 시각언어의 효과적인 명세 방법 제공, 어휘분석기를 이용한 파싱 시간의 단축, 객체지향 파서를 자동 생성하는 등의 새로운 특성을 제공한다. 이러한 특성은 특히 동일한 의미를 가지는 언어 구성요소가 그 쓰임에 따라 서로 다른 구체화된 의미 및 행동을 가지는 객체지향 시각언어에서는 언어 명세에서 최종 산물인 컴파일러에 이르는 전 단계에 동일한 객체 지향 패러다임을 사용함으로써 일관된 개발방법을 제공하여 그 효과가 두드러진다.

The syntax-directed translation using semantic actions is frequently used in construction of compiler for text programming languages. it is very useful for the language designers to develop compiler back-end using a syntax structure of a source programming language. Due to the lack of the integrated representation method for a parse tree node and modeling method of syntax structures, it is very hard to construct compiler using syntax-directed translation in visual languages. In this Paper, we propose a visual language compiler generation method for constructing a visual languages compiler automatically, using syntax-directed translation. Our method uses the Picture Layout Grammar as a underlying grammar formalism. This grammar allows our approach to generate parser efficiently u sing And-Or-Waiting Graph and encapsulating syntax definition as one unit. Unlike other systems, we suggest separating the specification and the generation of semantic actions. Because of this, it provides a very efficient method for modification.

Compiler and language implementation courses have long been recognized as an important subject in Computer Science curricula. It is because not only the knowledge for a compiler plays important roles in understanding programming languages and systems but compiler technologies can be used in many applications. However it requires much effort to teach effectively it due to limited resources and time restriction. We present a compiler teaching model using Edu-IDEC which is a development environment of educational compilers. Edu-IDEC is a tool on the robot platform. It uses the Eclipse plug-ins and has functions like compiler developing tools, a reference compiler, visualization tool of syntax tree, visualization tool of object language, NXT robot controllers, and its simulator. We also present the evaluation results for our model by applying it to an actual class.

Compiler development projects, which are designed and taught in compiler course, allow students to practice and absorb valuable amount of experience and techniques in developing compilers. However, both instructors and students face difficulties as they are often limited by insufficient hands-on time during course of an academic year along with a relatively high level of technologies involved when dealing with compilers. As well, most compiler's target systems use interpreter-based technologies which are rather limited in drawing student's attention. As a result compiler courses often end up being more of a theoretical course than practical. This paper presents a new integrated development environment (IDE) that will help overcome aforementioned difficulties and allow students to obtain both theoretical and practical knowledge more efficiently. The development environment includes a reference compiler with $Mindstorms^{(R)}$ NXT Robots as the target system, compiler development tool, target language test tool, and code generation visualizer. It is developed as a plug-in for the popular Eclipse IDE which enables easy access and great expandability. This integrated development environment allows students to understand compilers better and start their development faster.

In this paper,we proposed and developed a compiler and interactive programming enviroments for C++ wich is mostly worth of nitice among the object -oriented languages.To develope the compiler for C++ we took front=end/back-end model using EM virtual machine.In develpoing Front-End,we formailized C++ gram-mar with the context semsitive tokens which must be manipulated by dexical scanner and designed a AST class li-brary which is the hierarchy of AST node class and well defined interface among them,In develpoing Bacik-End,we proposed model for three major components :code oprtimizer,code generator and run-time enviroments.We emphasized the retargatable back-end which can be systrmatically reconfigured to genrate code for a variety of distinct target computers.We also developed terr pattern matching algorithm and implemented target code gen-erator which produce SPARC code.We also proposed the theroy and model for construction interative pro-gramming enviroments. To represent language features we adopt AST as internal reprsentation and propose uncremental analysis algorithm and viseal digrams.We also studied unparsing scheme, visual diagram,graphical user interface to generate interactive environments automatically Results of our resarch will be very useful for developing a complier and programming environments, and also can be used in compilers for parallel and distributed enviroments.

Rapid design space exploration is crucial to customizing embedded system design for exploiting the application behavior. As the time-to-market becomes a key concern of the design, the approach based on an application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) is considered more seriously as one alternative design methodology. In this approach, the instruction set architecture (ISA) for a target processor is frequently modified to best fit the application with regard to code size and speed. Two goals of this paper is to introduce our new retargetable compiler and how it has been used in ASIP-based design space exploration for a popular digital signal processing (DSP) application. Newly developed retargetable compiler provides not only the functionality of previous retargetable compilers but also visualizes the features of the application program and profiles it so that it can help architecture designers and application programmers to insert new application specific instructions into target architecture for performance increase. Given an initial RISC-style ISA for the target processor, we characterized the application code and incrementally updated the ISA with more application specific instructions to give the compiler a better chance to optimize assembly code for the application. We get 32% performance increase and 20% program size reduction using 6 audio codec specific instructions from retargetable compiler. Our experimental results manifest a glimpse of evidence that a higgly retargetable compiler is essential to rapidly prototype a new ASIP for a specific application.

The Java language is rapidly being adopted in the Internet. The distributed applications and their application range are being expanded beyond just a programing language and developed Into software applications. A variety of researches are going on with regard to the Java Virtual Machine runtime environment and methods of analyzing the Java class files and utilizing the information for applications. A class file is a converted file that is executable by the Java virtual machine. Analysis on the class file structure and the runtime processes will be convenient in arranging the decompilers and debugging the source programs. This paper is about the runtime process analyzer that presents the runtime processes, including class files, more visually. The content of a class file will be easily accessed and expressed as in a graphic user interface. The information in the class file displayed is divided into Constant_Pool, Class_file, Interface, Field, Method and Attribute with information on method area, operand stack and local variables expressed visually.

Comparing with sequential programming, parallel programming has additional complexity due to the consideration of parallelism, communication and synchronization of processes. A synergism between users and compliers should be established, each assisting the other to produce high quality parallel programs. On the above underlying philosophy, we developed a parallel Object-Oriented specification language, POOSL, as preliminary works. However, it is still likely to hard for users to write parallel program because users have to consider grammar of POOSL and to write text-based parallel program. It would be more desirable to provide users wit visual environment for effective parallel programming. Therefore, we propose a visual programming environment. VEPO(Visual environment for Parallel Object-Oriented Programming), based on POOSL in order that users can develop parallel programs more easily and conveniently. It aims at supporting a programming environment in which users can represent their programs more naturally and visually I parallel manner with object-oriented concept and essential steps during parallel program development such as program specification, compilation, execution and animation of execution are integrated. VEPO has useful features for parallel processing. Especially, complicated parallel codes for synchronization and communication of processes are automatically generated in the translation phase, so users can be relieved of writing error-prone parallel codes. The system is targeted to the transputer-based parallel system, MC-3. The graphic user interface of VEPO was implemented using Visual C++. Visual programs descirbed on VEPO are translated into Inmos C and executed on MC-3.
