The compilation is carried out in four steps through a series of intermediate languages. This paper focuses on the first phase, namely, the compilation of ComLisp to the stack-intermediate language SIL, where parameter passing is implemented by a stack technique. The context of this work is the joint research effort Verifix aiming at developing methods for the construction of correct compilers for realistic programming languages.
