RTL/2 Real Time Language. A small {real-time} language based on {ALGOL 68}, with {separate compilation} designed by J.G.P. Barnes of ICI in 1972 as a successor to {RTL/1}. A program is composed of separately compilable modules called "bricks" which may be datablocks, procedures or stack. A stack is a storage area for use as a workspace by a task. The language is {block-structured} and {weakly typed}. Simple types are byte, int, frac and real. There are no {Boolean}s. Compound types may be formed from {array}s, {record}s and {ref}s (pointers). There are no user-defined types. Control statements are if-then-elseif-else-end, for-to-by-do-rep, block-endblock, switch, goto, and label variables. ["RTL/2: Design and Philosophy", J.G.P. Barnes, Hayden & Son, 1976]. | |
