Loglan '88 - Report On The Programming Language (lecture Notes In Computer Science)

"LOGLAN '88 belongs to the family of object oriented programming languages. It embraces all important known tools and characteristics of OOP, i.e. classes, objects, inheritance, coroutine sequencing, but it does not get rid of traditional imperative programming: primitive types do not need to be objects; records, static arrays, subtypes and other similar type contructs are admitted. LOGLAN has non-traditional memory model which accepts programmed deallocation but avoids dangling reference. The LOGLAN semantic model provides multi-level inheritance, which properly cooperates with module nesting. Parallelism in LOGLAN has an object oriented nature. Processes are treated like objects of classes and communication between processes is provided by alien calls similar to remote calls."--Publisher's website Introduction....Pages 1-6 Terminology and notation rules....Pages 7-8 Lexical and textual structure....Pages 9-14 Units....Pages 15-18 Types....Pages 19-48 Variables and constants....Pages 49-51 Names and expressions....Pages 52-63 Statements....Pages 64-72 Unit specification, unit body and entities accessibility....Pages 73-77 Unit parameterization....Pages 78-81 Subprograms....Pages 82-84 Classes....Pages 85-87 Inheritance....Pages 88-94 Blocks....Pages 95-96 Identifier binding rules....Pages 97-100 Coroutines....Pages 101-104 Processes....Pages 105-111 Exception handling....Pages 112-122 File processing....Pages 123-128
