Istituto di Elaborazione della Informazione, CNR, Pisa, Italy
In this paper a self-extensible programming language, SEL or, rather, a general method for a system building tool, is described. The design criteria are given, the terminology which will be used is specified, the basic concepts of SEL are presented, some typical SEL instructions are illustrated, efficiency and protection are discussed, and an implemented version of SEL is outlined. For illustrative purposes, two self-extension programs are given. A short conclusion closes the paper.
