To construct a compiler for a modern higher-level programming
languagel one needs to structure the translation to a machine-like
intermediate language in a way that reflects the semantics of the
language. little is said about such struc turing in compiler texts
that are intended to cover a wide variety of program ming
languages. More is said in the Iiterature on semantics-directed
compiler construction [1] but here too the viewpoint is very
general (though limited to 1 languages with a finite number of
syntactic types). On the other handl there is a considerable body
of work using the continuation-passing transformation to structure
compilers for the specific case of call-by-value languages such as
SCHEME and ML [21 3]. ln this paperl we will describe a method of
structuring the translation of ALGOL-like languages that is based
on the functor-category semantics devel oped by Reynolds [4] and
Oles [51 6]. An alternative approach using category theory to
structure compilers is the early work of F. L. Morris [7]1 which
anticipates our treatment of boolean expressionsl but does not deal
with procedures. 2 Types and Syntax An ALGOL-like language is a
typed lambda calculus with an unusual repertoire of primitive
types. Throughout most of this paper we assume that the primi tive
types are comm(and) int(eger)exp(ression) int(eger)acc(eptor)
int(eger)var(iable) I and that the set 8 of types is the least set
containing these primitive types and closed under the binary
operation -.
