Abstract

The MATE software has been ported onto a variety of different computer architectures under a number of different operating systems. Several of these projects are taken as case studies to illustrate the difficulties encountered and the techniques used to deal with them. Four types of projects are considered: rehosting the MOS (MATE operating system) to a new 1750 A platform with various peripheral suites (systems have been Multibus based and VMEbus based); porting the MTE (MATE test executive) to a VAX/VHS environment; porting the MAC (MATE ATLAS compiler), MOLE (MATE on-line editor), and MTE to a 80286/Xenix environment; and porting the MAC, MOLE, and MTE to a 80286/DOS environment. Each project is analyzed in terms of work inherently necessary by the nature of the task, work made necessary by peculiarities in the target environment, and work associated with the development environment. Timesaving techniques used during development are highlighted. A special subsection is included which discusses the advantages that could have been realized had the original work been done in Ada. The application of Ada in the port process is also discussed.<>

MATE软件中的可移植性问题

MATE软件已被移植到许多不同操作系统下的各种不同计算机体系结构上。其中若干项目作为个案研究，说明所遇到的困难和用于处理这些困难的技术。考虑了四种类型的项目:将MOS (MATE操作系统)重新托管到具有各种外设套件的新1750a平台(基于Multibus和VMEbus的系统);将MTE (MATE测试执行器)移植到VAX/VHS环境;将MAC (MATE ATLAS编译器)、MOLE (MATE在线编辑器)和MTE移植到80286/Xenix环境;以及将MAC、MOLE和MTE移植到80286/DOS环境。每个项目都是根据任务本质所固有的必要工作、目标环境中的特殊性所必需的工作以及与开发环境相关的工作来分析的。重点介绍了开发过程中使用的节省时间的技术。其中包括一个特殊的小节，其中讨论了如果在Ada中完成原始工作可能会实现的优势。讨论了Ada在港口过程中的应用。
