The author teaches the skill of writing semantic descriptions as an efficient way to understand the features of a language. While a compiler or an interpreter offers a form of formal description of a language, it is not something that can be used as a basis for reasoning about that language nor can it serve as a definition of a programming language itself since this must allow a range of implementations. By writing a formal semantics of a language a designer can yield a far shorter description and tease out, analyse and record design choices. .Early in the book the author introduces a simple notation, a meta-language, used to record descriptions of the semantics of languages. In a practical approach, he considers dozens of issues that arise in current programming languages and the key techniques that must be mastered in order to write the required formal semantic descriptions. The book concludes with a discussion of the eight key challenges: delimiting a language (concrete representation), delimiting the abstract content of a language, recording semantics (deterministic languages), operational semantics (non-deter | 出版日期 | Textbook 2020 | 关键词 | Programming Language; Operational Semantics; Semantics; Typed Languages; Formal Methods; Logic; Computer S | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-59257-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-59259-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-59257-8 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
