Description:
|
ae (the "application executive") is a C interpreter library
which is compiled with an application; hence, the interpreter
exists in the same process and address space. it includes a
dbx symbol table scanner to access compiled vars & routines, or
you can enter them manually by providing a type/name
declaration and the address. when the interpreter is invoked,
source code fragments are read from the input stream (or a
string), parsed, and evaluated immediately. The user can call
compiled functions in addition to a few built-in intrinsics,
declare new data types and data objects, etc. Different input
streams can be evaluated in parallel on alliant machines.
Version 2 differs substantially in that the code
fragments are read into an intermediate form before being
evaluated, and can be stored in this form and then called
from either user code or the interpreter. Version 2 also
handles looping constructs (and the full C language),
unlike version 1.
