This paper describes a strategy for automatically generating tests which ensure interface compatibility between software components expressed in two different languages. This strategy is useful for testing code produced by a source-to-source computer language translator and for testing the compatibility of compilers for the different languages.

This paper describes a strategy for translating macro definitions and uses in the context of performing automated source-to-source translation between high-level programming languages. This translation technology enables macros and other preprocessor structures to be preserved in the generated source. It is useful for generating readable and maintainable code.

We have implemented an illustrated compiler for a simple block structured language. The compiler graphically displays its control and data structures, and so gives its viewers an intuitive understanding of compiler organization and operation. The illustrations were planned by hand and display information naturally and concisely.
