P-code

P-code - The intermediate code produced by the Pascal-P compiler. Assembly
language for a hypothetical stack machine, the P-machine, said to have been
an imitation of the instruction set for the Burroughs Large System. The
term was first used in Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs, N. Wirth,
P-H 1976. Byte articles on writing a Pascal Compiler in Northstar BASIC
(ca Aug 1978) also used the term. Later used in Apple Pascal, and as the
intermediate language in the UCSD P-system. "A Comparison of PASCAL
Intermediate Languages", P.A. Nelson, SIGPLAN Notices 14(8):208-213 (Aug
1979). Variants: P2 P-code, P4 P-code, UCSD P-code, LASL P-code.
