Abstract
Macroinstruction compilers constructed from a small set of functions can be made extremely powerful. In particular, conditional assembly, nested definitions, and parenthetical notation serve to make a compiler capable of accepting very general extensions to its ground language.

Debugging native extensions of dynamic languages
ManLang '18: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Managed Languages & RuntimesMany dynamic programming languages such as Ruby and Python enable developers to use so called native extensions, code implemented in typically statically compiled languages like C and C++. However, debuggers for these dynamic languages usually lack ...
A General-Purpose Macro Processor as a Poor Man's Compiler-Compiler
A method for quickly producing compilers for high level languages is described. The technique consists of feeding a description of the language to be translated to a general-purpose macro processor. Used in this way, the macro processor functions as a ...
Macro processing in high-level languages
A macro language is proposed. It enables macro processing in high-level programming languages. Macro definitions in this language refer to the grammars of the respective programming languages. These macros introduce new constructs in programming ...
