Macro Processors: System Software

The document discusses macro processors and describes a single-pass macro processor algorithm. It includes details on the data structures and procedures used in the algorithm like main program, define, expand, and processline. Charts are also included comparing single-pass and two-pass macro processor design.

Comparison of Macro Processors Design

● Single pass
» every macro must be defined before it is called
» one-pass processor can alternate between macro definition
and macro expansion
» nested macro definitions may be allowed but nested calls
are not
● Two pass algorithm
» Pass1: Recognize macro definitions
» Pass2: Recognize macro calls
» nested macro definitions are not allowed
