Run time interaction with FORTRAN using mixed code
Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
This paper describes an interpretive function generator, COMPIL, for use with the PDP-11 FORTRAN COMPILER and Object Time System. The implementation uses a mixed code approach, which enables the exchange of run time for program space. Other benefits include improved debugging facilities and extended interactive facilities such as the ability to define and link functions at run time. This latter feature is especially useful on the PDP-11 as compilation and linking of function subprograms take an appreciable time.
