Title: Stanford Pascal Compiler
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | The **Stanford Pascal Compiler** was a [[P-Code]]-based [[Pascal]] language compiler and IDE for mainframe computers. It was developed in the 1970s at Stanford University, California. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | In a first pass the compiler generated machine-independent P-Code. Based on this P-Code, the *P-Code Cross Compiler (PCC)* created machine-specific assembly code in a second pass. As a third component a *Pascal runtime support* library provided implementations of standard procedures. | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | Targets of the Stanford Pascal Compiler were IBM mainframes (including IBM 360 and 370 series) and LSI-11 (PDP-11). | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | A modern version of the Stanford Pascal Compiler is maintained by Bernd Oppolzer. This version targets VM/370 and MVS 3.8j on the Hercules emulator, and it runs on today's z/VM (probably) and today's z/OS (tested), too. It was ported to Windows, Linux and OS/2 in 2016 - MacOS in 2017. Pascal programs (and the compiler itself) run on the Non-mainframe targets with the help of the P-Code interpreter PCINT (written in ANSI-C). | |
