ALGOL 68R - Restrictions in The Language Compiled

Restrictions in The Language Compiled

“ It is a question of morality. We have a Bible and you are sinning!

-- Mailloux

 ”

In order to allow one pass compilation ALGOL 68-R implemented a sub-set of the language defined in the original report:

  1. Identifiers, modes and operators must be specified before use.
  2. No automatic proceduring.
  3. Explicit void mode.
  4. No formal declarers.
  5. No parallel processing.
  6. goto may not be omitted.
  7. Uniting is only valid in strong positions.

Many of these restrictions were adopted by the revised report on ALGOL 68.

Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content ... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.”
    —René Daumal (1908–1944)
