(AE) An embeddable language, written as a Cinterpreter by Brian Bliss at UIUC. AE is compiled with anapplication and thus exists in the same process and addressspace. It includes a dbx symbol table scanner to accesscompiled variables and routines, or you can enter themmanually by providing a type/name declaration and the address.When the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments areread from the input stream (or a string), parsed, andevaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functionsin addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new datatypes and data objects, etc. Different input streams can beevaluated in parallel on Alliant computers.AE has been ported to SunOS (cc or gcc), Alliant FX andCray YMP (soon).
