Abstract
The PSG programming system generator developed at the Technical University of Darmstadt produces interactive, language-specific programming environments from formal language definitions. All language-dependent parts of the environment are generated from an entirely nonprocedural specification of the language's syntax, context conditions, and dynamic semantics. The generated environment consists of a language-based editor, supporting systematic program development by named program fragments, an interpreter, and a fragment library system. The major component of the environment is a full-screen editor, which allows both structure and text editing. In structure mode the editor guarantees prevention of both syntactic and semantic errors, whereas in textual mode it guarantees their immediate recognition. PSG editors employ a novel algorithm for incremental semantic analysis which is based on unification. The algorithm will immediately detect semantic errors even in incomplete program fragments. The dynamic semantics of the language are defined in denotational style using a functional language based on the lambda calculus. Program fragments are compiled to terms of the functional language which are executed by an interpreter. The PSG generator has been used to produce environments for Pascal, ALGOL 60, MODULA-2, and the formal language definition language itself.
