Macro Processors for Enhancing High-Level Languages–Some Design Principles*

J. M. Triance and P. J. Layzell §

Department of Computation, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, P.O. Box 88, Manchester, UK

There is a requirement for users to configure programming languages to meet their own particular needs. This requirement can be met by a suitable macro processor. In general existing macro processors are unsuitable because they are not sufficiently supportive towards the popular programming languages.

Alternative design strategies for such a macro processor are examined and a set of design principles is derived.
