Abstract

AbstractThe use of a space optimal storage scheme for compiler diagnostic messages is described. The space reduction achievable through word coding may be predicted in terms of text length, vocabulary size and average word length. A method of word or phrase selection is discussed. Illustration is made by application to the FORTRAN FTN and COBOL compilers under the operating system KRONOS for the CDC 6400 computer.
