- VisiCLANG (cf. SIGPLAN Notices V25 #8) is a tool to aid one in
- understanding the inner workings of a compiler. It does this by
- allowing the user to trace all aspects of a compiler's execution
- as it is compiling the user's own program(s). Assembly language
- code is generated by the compiler and then executed on an stack
- machine implemented in software.
-
- CLANG is a simple teaching language developed by P.D. Terry and
- described by him as a "superset of a subset of Pascal". It limits
- it's data types to integers and arrays of integers, but includes
- data abstraction and concurrency. The CLANG compiler uses straight-
- forward recursive-descent parsing implemented in "highly standard
- Pascal".
