Abstract

The modern softwares have features of modularity and extensibility, and there are several researches on extensible programming languages and compilers. In this paper, we introduce Argos programming language, which provides the extensibility with the concept of plugin languages. A plugin language is used to define a method of a class, and the plugin language processors can be added and replaced dynamically The plugin languages may be used to support multiparadigm programming or domain specific languages.

현대적인 소프트웨어들은 모듈성과 확장성을 강조하고 있으며, 프로그래밍 언어와 컴파일러에서도 확장성에 관한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서 소개하는 Argos 언어는 플러그인 언어라는 개념을 이용해서 언어와 컴파일러를 확장할 수 있는 방법을 제공한다. Argos에서 플러그인 언어는 클래스의 메소드를 정의하기 위해서 사용되며, 플러그인 언어 처리기는 동적으로 추가 및 교체될 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. Argos에서 플러그인 언어는 멀티패러다임 프로그래밍과 도메인 특정 언어를 지원하기 위해서 사용될 수 있다.
