The PL/Iì compiler is designed specifically for MELPS8(Mitsubushi Electric Co.,LSI CPU,M58710S) and executed on the host computer-MELCOM 7000-as a cross-compiler. The PL/Iì language is similar to PL/I, with primitive operations which reflect the architecture of a microcomputer, and has ON statement for controlling the interrupt mechanism,INPUT/OUTPUT statements, GENERATE statement directly taking in machine codes and so on. It has also compile-time facilities and users may extend the PL/Iì language with %MACRO statement. This paper describes the basic design criteria, the PL/Iì language specification, and the implementation technique of PL/Iì compiler.
