A semi-automatic storage allocation system at loading time
The method of storage allocation described herein, although new in a few respects, does not represent any sharp break from the past. Rather it is another step of development suggested by experience accumulated over several years with the 704,709 and 7090 FORTRAN systems. The storage assignment method proposed is, in principle, extremely simple and is not specific to FORTRAN or the 7090. Although the method depends only on rather general language aspects, the concrete detail will be illustrated in terms of the aforementioned systems or proposed extensions.
