Application Executive
AE
<language> (AE) An {embeddable language}, written as a {C}
{interpreter} by Brian Bliss at UIUC. AE is compiled with an
{application} and thus exists in the same process and address
space. It includes a {dbx} {symbol table} scanner to access
compiled variables and routines, or you can enter them
manually by providing a type/name declaration and the address.
When the {interpreter} is invoked, {source code} fragments are
read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and
evaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functions
in addition to a few {built-in} intrinsics, declare new data
types and data objects, etc. Different input streams can be
evaluated in parallel on {Alliant} computers.
AE has been ported to {SunOS} (cc or {gcc}), {Alliant FX} and
{Cray YMP} (soon).
