Abstract
The documentation of a complete proto-compiler consisting of a
syntax checker and an OS/360 operating system interface for the
IBM System/360 computers is presented. The system constitutes the
foundation of a translator writing system based on the language PL360
and on the SLR(k) parsing algorithm. PL360 provides all the facilities
of a symbolic machine language but displays an ALGOL-like structure
for improved readability and programming ease. SLR(k) parsers have
been shown to be superior to those constructed using precedence
techniques with regard to the class of acceptable grammars and speed
of operation.
