Self-compiling compilers are compilers written in the programming language they are made to compile. They constitute a very interesting case of portable programs, and are rapidly gaining in popularity. This paper is an attempt to classify and evaluate the different methods which have been used for writing and transporting such compilers, according to numerous and various criteria. The potential implementor is then given an idea of the important factors to be considered when selecting one of the many implementation methods available. The study is centred around a specific case, the programming language Pascal and its many compilers.read more

Object code optimization
Edward S. Lowry,C. W. Medlock +1 more
TL;DR: Methods of analyzing the control flow and data flow of programs during compilation are applied to transforming the program to improve object time efficiency and implementation of these and other optimizations in OS/360 FORTRAN H are described.

The Design of an Optimizing Compiler
TL;DR: The design and implementation of a highly optimizing compiler for the BLISS language is described and a notational scheme is described in terms of which an overview of the compiler is presented.

The design of a pascal compiler
TL;DR: The development of a compiler for the programming language PASCAL1 is described in some detail and design decisions concerning the layout of program and data, the organization of the compiler including its syntax analyser, and the over‐all approach to the project are discussed.
