π: Towards a Simple Formal Semantic Framework for Compiler Construction
Abstract
This paper proposes π, a formal semantic framework for compiler construction together with program validation. π is comprised by π Lib, a set of programming languages constructs inspired by Peter Mosses' Component-Based Semantics and π Automata, an automata-based formalism to describe the operational semantics of programming languages, that generalizes Gordon Plotkin's Interpreting Automata.
