This paper describes our experience in using a common set of code generating subroutines as the basis for compilers of ALGOL W, ALGOL 60 and subsets of PL/I and COBOL. The advantages of using a common set of primitives for implementing more than one compiler include: (1) greatly reduced effort to implement additional languages; (2) simplified maintenance of the generated compilers; (3) standardized diagnostic messages for all compilers implemented using this system; and (4) simplified documentation of the compilers.
