It is a moderated usenet news group addressing the topics of compilers in particular and programming language design and implementation in general. It started in 1986 as a moderated mailing list, but interest quickly grew to the point where it was promoted to a news group. Recent topics have included optimization techniques, language design issues, announcements of new compiler tools, and book reviews. |
| 6 | Messages come from a wide variety of people ranging from undergraduate students to well-known experts in industry and academia. Authors live all over the world -- there are regular messages from the U.S, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan, with occasional ones from as far away as Malaysia. I cannot tell how large the readership is, since the anarchic nature of usenet makes it impossible to tell who reads it, but a reasonable guess is that the total is over 100,000, which would make it by far the most widely read medium on the topic in the world. |
| 7 | Unless there is specific language to the contrary, each message represents only the personal opinion of its author. I claim no compilation copyright on comp.compilers. As far as I am concerned, anyone can reproduce any message for any purpose. Individual authors may retain rights to their messages, although I will not knowingly post anything that does not permit unlimited distribution in any form. |
| 8 | If you find comp.compilers useful in writing a book, producing a product, etc., I would appreciate an acknowledgement of usenet and comp.compilers. -- How do I receive it? The easiest way is to read comp.compilers on a system that gets usenet news. It's also on the web at http:compilers.iecc.com. There are links to the most recent articles on the home page, and an RSS feed at http:compilers.iecc.comcomparchrss Each message is tweeted to a twitter feed at @compcompilers. |
| 9 | If you don't have access to usenet news and don't like RSS, it's also available via E-mail via a Majordomo mailing list. To subscribe, a person should send e-mail to majordomo@lists.iecc.com with one line in the mail message (not in the subject!) That line should read: subscribe compilers (to get individual messages) subscribe compilers-digest (to get a daily digest) You will get a confirmation message that you have to read and respond to in order to complete your subscription. |
| 10 | To get off the list the subscriber should send e-mail to the same address with one of these messages: unsubscribe compilers unsubscribe compilers-digest If you have problems getting on or off the list, please contact me. In particular, if you want to use an address other than your own personal mail address, you have to ask me to set it up. If I receive bounce messages for an address on the mailing list for several messages in a row, it's automatically deleted. |
