Icon is a very high level general-purpose programming language with extensive features for processing strings (text) and data structures. Icon is an imperative, procedural language with a syntax that is reminiscent of C and Pascal, but with semantics at a much higher level. Icon has a novel expression-evaluation mechanism that integrates goal-directed evaluation and backtracking with conventional control structures. It has a string scanning facility for pattern matching that avoids the tedious details usually associated with analyzing strings. Icon's built-in data structures include sets and tables with associative lookup, lists that can be used as vectors or stacks and queues, and records.

REGISTER The Icon Programming Language May 1994 Hands On / The Icon Programming Language A new way to deal with strings and structures Ralph E. Griswold Icon is a very high-level, general-purpose programming language with a strong emphasis on processing strings of characters and complicated structures. It was developed at the University of Arizona under the support of the National Science Foundation as a byproduct of research on high-level facilities for nonnumeric computation. That description is accurate, but it doesn't really tell you what the language is like or why so many programmers love it. I'll explain these things and give some examples that convey the nature of the language. An important issue in designing Icon was making programming easy, quick, and, we hoped, fun. The success of this design philosophy is illustrated by the fact that Icon programs are typ ically one-tenth to one-third the size of equivalent C programs and can be written correspondingly faster.

Christopher Tools of Computing LLC www.toolsofcomputing.com www.toolsofcomputing.com tc@toolsofcomputing.com You can find an on-line version of my Icon Programming Language Handbook via my company's Icon Handbook page The Icon Programming Language Handbook has been undergoing beta testing in CS440. The main purpose of Icon Programming Language Handbook is to be a reference on version 9.1 of the Icon Programming Language , providing much of the information in tables, and redundantly in all applicable sections, to make finding information quick and easy. In addition, the chapters are arranged so that a programmer reading the book from the beginning can learn the Icon language. Special features include a chapter on windows and graphics and presentation of selected functions from the Icon Program Library. Back to TC's home page.

The source code is translated and linked, then executed with the given list of arguments. Without -P , a single source file n is read n 1 builtins ; its name must be given exactly and need not end in .icn A sourcefile name of reads the source code from standard input. With -P , a small program can be embedded within a larger shell script. In this case the program argument is a complete Icon program, typically given as a multi-line quoted string. Translation and linking is silent, suppressing progress messages, and undeclared identifiers are diagnosed. This mirrors the behavior of the icont command when run with -s and -u options. An Icon

Ralph E. Griswold and Madge T. Griswold Princeton University Press, 1986 ISBN 0-691-08431-9, out of print. Great news from the LtU DG I've been wanting to read this book for a long time. Icon has some interesting control structures (e.g., generators and goal directed evaluation). The original implementation, as far as I know, was done by translation into VM instructions (at least, that's the original implementation I used...)

Archives User login Username: Password: Create new account Request new password Navigation recent posts Home Error handling strategies Some kind of language support for error handling (e.g exceptions of various kinds, on error blocks, Maybe types, continuations etc.) has become standard. The exact mechanism is yet another language design decision designers have to make. Eric Lippert describes VBScript's error handling mechanims. The VBScript approach is perhaps more confusing than it has to be (though I personally didn't find Eric's examples confusing). Tying exception handlers to blocks is more structured and perhaps better. Be that as it may, I think better error handling constructs are still waiting to be discovered (or designed).

Reducing Field Table Size in the Icon Translator Richard Hatch and Clinton L. Jeffery Technical Report CS-95-14 December 16, 1995 Abstract The size of generated code includes many pieces of static information about a program in addition to its actual instructions. In the case of the Icon programming language, a table used in the implementation of the record data type may become quite large. This report describes an implementation of compression techniques that saves 3-12 kilobytes per binary for typical graphical applications, and much more space (over 400 kbytes in one case) for larger programs using many records. Division of Computer Science The University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78255 Introduction Implementors of a programming language face many complex tasks and must prioritize their work. As an implementation matures, areas of needed improvement come up during use. Also, when a language is used for larger-scale projects than it was designed for, naive implementations may cause problems. This paper explores solutions to a problem with the implementation of records in the Icon programming language that only came up when the language was used in a large (25k lines) program. Icon is a very high level language developed at the University of Arizona[2]. The current version of the Icon translator uses a table to identify which fields are in which records when an Icon program uses records. The structure of this table, called the field table, is an
