A syntax checker was designed based on the syntax of Algol as previously described. It was desirable to design the syntax checker as a set of mutually recursive processors tied together by building blocks which perform certain bookkeeping functions. Because of the recursive nature of the language and of the syntax checker, the problem of recovery after an error required much attention. A method was devised which permits most programs to be checked completely despite errors. The syntax checker was implemented for the IBM 7090 as a part of the SHARE ALGOL processor, and has operated very satisfactorily. (auth)
