Cfront was based on CPre ( C with classes compiler, which started at 1979 ).

As Cfront was written in C ++, it was a challenge to bootstrap on a machine without a C ++ compiler / translator.

Along with the Cfront C ++ sources, a special " half-preprocessed " version of the C code resulting from compiling Cfront with itself was also provided.

This C code was to be compiled with the native C compiler, and the resulting executable could then be used to compile the Cfront C ++ sources.

Most of the porting effort in getting Cfront running on a new machine was related to standard I / O.

A few remnants of Cfront's translation method are still found in today's C ++ compilers ; name mangling was originated by Cfront, as the relatively primitive linkers at the time did not support type information in symbols, and some template instantiation models are derived from Cfront's early efforts.

C ++ ( and Cfront ) was directly responsible for many improvements in Unix linkers and object file formats, as it was the first widely-used language which required link-time type checking, weak symbols, and other similar features.

Cfront 4. 0 was abandoned in 1993 after a failed attempt to add exception support.

It was Cfront 2. 1 compliant and available in two editions:

Cfront had a complete parser, built symbol tables, and built a tree for each class, function, etc.

Cfront defined the language until circa 1990, and many of the more obscure corner cases in C ++ were related to its C ++- to-C translation approach.

Although he did not attend any celebrated schools or universities, he was a master of Greek and Hebrew and could read the Bible in the original.

For by now the original cause of the quarrel, Philip's seizure of Gascony, was only one strand in the spider web of French interests that overlay all western Europe and that had been so well and closely spun that the lightest movement could set it trembling from one end to the other.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.

Laudably enough, it is offering classics and off-beat imports, but last week only one U.S. original was on the boards, Robert D. Hock's stunning Civil War work, Borak.

Stowey Rummel was internationally famous, a crafter of a genuine Americana in foreign eyes, an original designer whose inventive childishness with steel and concrete was made even more believably sincere by his personality.

He claims that he was denied due process of law in violation of the Fifth Amendment, because ( 1 ) at a hearing before a hearing officer of the Department of Justice, he was not permitted to rebut statements attributed to him by the local board, and ( 2 ) at the trial, he was denied the right to have the hearing officer's report and the original report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as to his claim.

Petitioner was not entitled, either in the administrative hearing at the Department of Justice or at his trial, to inspect the original report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, since he was furnished a resume of it, did not challenge its accuracy, and showed no particular need for the original report.

He says that he was not permitted to rebut before the hearing officer statements attributed to him by the local board, and, further, that he was denied at trial the right to have the Department of Justice hearing officer's report and the original report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as to his claim -- all in violation of the Fifth Amendment.

That Prokofieff's harmonies and forms sometimes seem professionally routine to our ears, may or may not indicate that he was less of an `` original '' than we prefer to believe.

This original capsule contained a battery and a transistor oscillator and was about 1 cm. in diameter.

when the insoluble fraction was suspended in a volume of saline equal to that of the original serum sample, no complete antibody activity could be detected.

Approximately ten days after the questionnaire was mailed, a follow-up airmail postcard was sent to each of the original names.

In parts a repeated sponging was needed, but everywhere we found that water alone was enough to restore the original brightness.

Down in Concord, New Hampshire, was a flier in the right place at the right time: Robert S. Fogg, a native New Englander, had been a World War 1, flying instructor, barnstormer, and one of the original planners of the Concord Airport.

`` To be creative is to have the ability to cause to exist -- to produce where nothing was before -- to bring forth an original production of human intelligence or power ''.

What remained lacked the original verve but it was at least dignified, as befitting the tragic circumstances.

When AA was ported to the English Electric KDF9 computer, the character set was changed to ISO and that compiler has been recovered from an old paper tape by the Edinburgh Computer History Project and is available online, as is a high-quality scan of the original Edinburgh version of the Atlas Autocode manual.

Later, an AMOS compiler was developed that further increased speed.

Bootstrapping in program development began during the 1950s when each program was constructed on paper in decimal code or in binary code, bit by bit ( 1s and 0s ), because there was no high-level computer language, no compiler, no assembler, and no linker.

The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper, in 1952, for the A-0 programming language.

It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support.

The next step was to attempt to bootstrap the compiler on a Windows system, requiring sufficient emulation of Unix to let the GNU configure shell script run.

Another issue is that the score reported does not include information which is critical when comparing systems such as which compiler was used, and what optimizations.

Dijkstra was known to be a fan of ALGOL 60, and worked on the team that implemented the first compiler for that language.

Dijkstra and Jaap Zonneveld, who collaborated on the compiler, agreed not to shave until the project was completed.

This was the first optimizing compiler, because customers were reluctant to use a high-level programming language unless its compiler could generate code whose performance was comparable to that of hand-coded assembly language.

It had an optimizing compiler that was quite good for minicomputers of its time.

Univac also offered a compiler for the 1100 series known as Fortran V. A spinoff of Univac Fortran V was Athena Fortran.

A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.

With the release of MS-DOS 5. 0, GW-BASIC's place was eventually taken by QBasic, the interpreter part of the separately available QuickBASIC compiler.

Oribasius was the greatest Byzantine compiler of medical knowledge.

The compiler was designed to support parallel POSIX programming in C / C ++, Fortran 77 / 90, and Ada.

According to principal architect Stephen P. Morse, this was a result of a more software centric approach than in the design of earlier Intel processors ( the designers had experience working with compiler implementations ).

Although this feature existed in the original INTERCAL compiler, it was undocumented.

By 1997, it was apparent that the IA-64 architecture and the compiler were much more difficult to implement than originally thought, and the delivery of Merced began slipping.

In addition, the EPIC concept depends on compiler capabilities that had never been implemented before, so more research was needed.
