<language> (AE) An embeddable language, written as a C
interpreter by Brian Bliss at UIUC. AE is compiled with an
application and thus exists in the same process and address
space. It includes a dbx symbol table scanner to access
compiled variables and routines, or you can enter them
manually by providing a type/name declaration and the address.
When the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments are
read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and
evaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functions
in addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new data
types and data objects, etc. Different input streams can be
evaluated in parallel on Alliant computers.
AE has been ported to SunOS (cc or gcc), Alliant FX and
Cray YMP (soon).
