The development of a compiler for the programming language PASCAL 1 is described in some detail. Design decisions concerning the layout of program and data, the organization of the compiler including its syntax analyser, and the over‐all approach to the project are discussed. The compiler is written in its own language and was implemented for the CDC 6000 computer family. The reader is expected to be familiar with Reference 1.
