Subject: [TUHS] 8bc -- a B compiler for the PDP-8
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2019 00:53:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190920225350.GA26132@fuz.su> (raw)

Greetings!

As a project for our university's seminar on the PDP-8 I wrote a
compiler for the B language targeting it.  It's a bit rough around
the edges and the runtime code needs some work (division and
remainder are missing), but it does compile B code correctly,
generating acceptable code (for my taste, though the function call
sequence could be better).

I hope some of you enjoy this compiler for an important historical
language for an important historical computer (makes me wonder why
the two weren't married before).
