An Implementation of the Programming Language DML in Java: Compiler

Author: Andreas Walter

Editor:

DML is an experimental language that has emerged from the developement of the Oz dialect Alice. DML is dynamically typed, functional, and concurrent. It supports transients and provides a distributed programming model. Subject of this work is the implementation of a compiler backend that translates DML programs to Java Virtual Machine code. Code-optimizing techniques and possibilities for the treatment of tail calls are described. Finally, the implemented compiler and the runtime environment of DML are compared to similar projects.
