TI BeeToo: Object Oriented Language Compilation for Fine Grained
Targets

AU Matthew G. Sillitoe

RT Conference paper

AB Bee-too is an object oriented programming language integrating
class abstraction with the block structured function semantics of
conventional imperative languages. High concurrency and
architecture independence is promoted by the programming model,
the Bee-too compiler, and the fine-grained method-state graph
generated intermediately for subsequent target-generation stages.
After briefly introducing After briefly introducing the aims of
the project and programming model, this paper concentrates on the
qualities of the programming model and role of the compiler in
generating its intermediate-representation method-state graph.
The graph is generated from expressions with imperative
operations on closure-abstracted object interfaces, and describes
actions and storage which approach the granularity of those found
at the lowest hardware levels and hence are extremly
fine-grained. Graph structure re-writing during target-generation
caters for different architectures.
