^^By Graham Birtwistle, Lars Enderin, Mats Ohlin and Jacob Palme\\
.B 3
^ABSTRACT
.BR
--------
.B 1
^THE ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 ^^SIMULA\\ ^LANGUAGE ^HANDBOOK CONTAINS THE INFORMATION
NECESSARY FOR AN APPLICATIONS PROGRAMMER WHO INTENDS TO USE ^^SIMULA\\ ON A ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 COMPUTER.
.B 1
^PART ^I CONTAINS A DESCRIPTION OF THE ^^SIMULA\\ PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.
^^It is a guide to the language consisting of four chapters.
The first chapter introduces SIMULA by way of some fully discussed
examples. Chapter two gives the syntax and semantics of SIMULA.
The third chapter describes (with furhter examples) the standard
system classes and text handling facilities. The last chapter
deals with separate compilation of procedures and classes.\\
^PART ^^II\\
CONTAINS SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10. ^^Part III describes the
SIMULA Utility Library (LIBSIM).\\
.B 1
^^SIMULA\\ IS A GENERAL-PURPOSE HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE COMPARABLE
IN POWER TO ^^PL/I\\ OR ^ALGOL#68. ^^SIMULA\\ IS BASED ON ^^ALGOL\\#60
WITH THE ADDITION OF RECORD-ORIENTED DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION,
REFERENCE (POINTER) STRUCTURES, SETS AND QUEUES, TEXT- AND CHARACTER
HANDLING, SEQUENTIAL AND DIRECT ACCESS INPUT-OUTPUT, QUASI-PARALLEL
SEQUENCING (COROUTINES) AND PROCESS (EVENT) ORIENTED SIMULATION CAPABILITIES.
.B 1
^^SIMULA\\ IS DESIGNED IN A WAY WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO PRODUCE PERSPICIUOUS,
WELL-STRUCTURED, READABLE AND SECURE PROGRAMS. ^^SIMULA\\
IS WELL ADAPTED TO STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY.
.B 1
^^SIMULA\\ WILL OFTEN CONSIDERABLY REDUCE THE PROGRAMMING TIME
COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL LANGUAGES LIKE ^^FORTRAN, COBOL\\, OR ^^PL/I.\\
.B 1
^^SIMULA\\ ON THE ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 CONTAINS TWO MAJOR ADDITIONS TO THE
^^SIMULA\\ LANGUAGE: ^A SYSTEM FOR SEPARATELY COMPILED PROGRAM MODULES
IN ^^SIMULA, FORTRAN\\, OR ^^MACRO\\#10 AND A POWERFUL ON-LINE DEBUGGING SYSTEM, ^^SIMDDT.\\
.B 1
^THE ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 ^^SIMULA\\ COMPILER REQUIRES 25 TO 30^K USER AREA AND COMPILES
AT ROUGHLY HALF THE SPEED OF THE ^^DEC\\SYSTEM-10 ^^ALGOL\\ COMPILER. ^THE ^^CPU\\
TIME WHEN RUNNING ^^SIMULA\\ PROGRAMS IS ABOUT THE SAME AS FOR ^^ALGOL\\,
FASTER FOR INPUT-OUTPUT AND TEXT STRING HANDLING, SLOWER FOR STACK-ORIENTED
MEMORY ALLOCATION.

^THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS CHAPTER IS TO INTRODUCE THE CONCEPTS
OF THE ^^SIMULA\\ PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. ^THIS IS DONE THROUGH
EXAMPLES OF INCREASING SCOPE.
.B 1
^THE FRAMING OF A PROBLEM FOR COMPUTER SOLUTION TAKES PLACE IN
TWO PHASES. ^THE FIRST DESIGN PHASE CONSISTS OF ANALYSING
THE PROBLEM, DECOMPOSING IT INTO ITS COMPONENTS,
CLASSIFYING THESE COMPONENTS AND PLANNING THE FLOW OF THE
COMPUTATIONS. ^THE SECOND PHASE IS CODING, THAT IS EXPRESSING
THE PLAN OF PHASE ONE IN A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. ^WITH
MANY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES THIS WILL AMOUNT TO A COMPLETE
REWRITING, AS THE NATURAL HUMAN MODES OF DECOMPOSITION
AND CLASSIFICATION ARE NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN THE LANGUAGE.
^THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH ^^SIMULA\\, WHERE CONCEPTS FOR A
GIVEN PROBLEM OR PROBLEM AREA CAN BE FORMULATED DIRECTLY
IN THE LANGUAGE ITSELF.
.B 1
^THUS ^^SIMULA\\ IS MORE THAN JUST A NOTATION FOR DESCRIBING COMPUTING PROCESSES#-#IT
ALSO PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR CONCEPT CREATION AND IS A TOOL OF
THOUGHT IN PROBLEM ANALYSIS.

^WHEN A PROGRAM IS PRESENTED TO A COMPUTER IT IS PROCESSED
IN TWO DISTINCT PHASES. ^IN THE FIRST PHASE, THE PROGRAM
WRITTEN IN ^^SIMULA\\ (THE SOURCE PROGRAM) IS TRANSLATED INTO
.index ^^Source program\\
ITS EQUIVALENT IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE ALREADY "KNOWN" BY THE
COMPUTER. ^DURING THIS TRANSLATION STAGE, KNOWN AS COMPILE
TIME, THE SOURCE PROGRAM IS CHECKED FOR SYNTACTIC AND
SEMANTIC ERRORS (ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTIONS, UNDECLARED VARIABLES,
ETC.) AND, IF ANY ARE FOUND, THE EXECUTION PHASE IS
OMITTED. ^^SIMULA\\ HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO TRAP AS MANY ERRORS
AS POSSIBLE AT COMPILE TIME.
.B 1
^AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPILATION, THE SOURCE PROGRAM IS NO LONGER
NEEDED AND THE COMPUTER OPERATES ON ITS TRANSLATED FORM CALLED
.index ^^Object program\\
THE OBJECT PROGRAM. ^SINCE THE TWO PROGRAMS ARE EQUIVALENT,
THERE IS NO NEED FOR US TO THINK OF PROGRAM EXECUTION IN TERMS
OF THE OBJECT PROGRAM#-#WE CAN RETAIN A MENTAL PICTURE OF ITS
EXECUTION IN TERMS OF THE ^^SIMULA\\ SOURCE PROGRAM. ^THE OBJECT
PROGRAM IS EXECUTED SUPPORTED BY PREWRITTEN ROUTINES CALLED
.index ^^Run time system\\
THE RUN TIME SYSTEM (^^RTS\\). ^THIS STEP IS CALLED RUN TIME. ^AT
RUN TIME, THE PROGRAM DATA IS READ IN WHEN NEEDED AND RESULTS PRINTED
OUT WHEN REQUESTED IN THE PROGRAM. ^ANY ERRORS OCCURRING AT
RUN TIME ARE CALLED RUN TIME ERRORS.

.BR
#####----------------
.B 1
^A CLASS OF STUDENTS SITS AN EXAMINATION AND MARKS ARE AWARDED
IN THE RANGE 0-100 AS WHOLE NUMBERS (^^INTEGERS\\). ^A LIST OF
THESE MARKS IS PRESENTED TO THE COMPUTER. ^WRITE A PROGRAM TO
FIND THE HIGHEST MARK.
.B 1
^A SIMPLE PLAN FOR THE PROBLEM IS THIS. ^TRACE DOWN THE LIST
OF NUMBERS AND PROCESS THEM ONE BY ONE#-#AT EACH STAGE COMPARING
THE PRESENT VALUE WITH THE HIGHEST VALUE MET SO FAR.
(^IT IS CONVENIENT TO CARRY ALONG THE HIGHEST VALUE SO FAR MET
TO AVOID REPEATED BACK-CHECKING). ^IF THE PRESENT VALUE IS
THE HIGHER, THEN IT REPLACES THE OLD HIGHEST-VALUE-MET, OTHERWISE
IT HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE. ^AS THE ONLY INFORMATION WE NEED
RETAIN IS NOW NOTED, THE PRESENT LIST VALUE CAN BE DISCARDED.
^THUS IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO RETAIN THE WHOLE LIST OF NUMBERS
IN THE COMPUTER. ^THE PROCESS IS REPEATED TAKING THE REMAINING
LIST MEMBERS IN TURN UNTIL THE LIST IS EXHAUSTED WHEN THE LAST
HIGHEST-VALUE-MET IS THE NUMBER WE REQUIRE.
.IFNOT FOA;.PG
.ENDIF FOA;
^TO FOLLOW THIS SCHEME WE NEED NOTE AND COMPARE THE VALUES OF
TWO VARIABLES (CALLED "VARIABLES" BECAUSE THEIR VALUES VARY
DURING THE CALCULATIONS). ^THESE WE CALL "^^PRESENT"\\ AND "^^HIGHEST\\",
THE PRESENTLY CONSIDERED LIST VALUE AND THE HIGHEST VALUE MET SO
FAR, RESPECTIVELY. ^A PARTIAL DESCRIPTION OF THESE ACTIONS COULD
BE:
.B 1;.LM 20;.I -9
STEP 1:##LET "^^PRESENT\\" BE THE NEW INPUT VALUE
.B 1;.I -9
STEP 2:##IF "^^PRESENT\\" IS GREATER THAN "^^HIGHEST\\" THEN COPY

IS TO WRITE THEM IN A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE#-#IN THIS CASE ^^SIMULA\\.

THE OWNER IS FACED WITH A DILEMMA. ^AS MORE CUSTOMERS USE

TWO WAYS#-#BUILD FURTHER CAR WASHES WHICH WILL KEEP THE PRESENT
CUSTOMERS HAPPY (AND PROBABLY ATTRACT MORE), OR DO NOTHING AND
LET THE CUSTOMER FLOW STABILIZE ITSELF AT A LOWER LEVEL. ^AS THE
BUILDING OF FURTHER CAR WASHES ENTAILS CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE, THIS
IS NOT A DECISION TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY AND DEMANDS SOME INVESTIGATION.

.index ^^Segmentation of programs\\
.B
[The HIDDEN PROTECTED specification is not available in release 1 and 2
of DECsystem-10 SIMULA, but available from release 3.]
.index ^^HIDDEN specification\\
.B 1
The HIDDEN PROTECTED feature is a feature to increase the reliability and
security of large software packages by dividing
.index ^^Security by module protection\\
the package into smaller submodules and controlling the interface
between the submodules.
.B 1
Many programming errors occur because a programmer, when writing code
in one submodule, is not aware of the effect of that code on other
submodules. If the interface between the modules is controlled,
the compiler and program can automatically guard against many such
programming errors.
.B 1
This is especially important when several programmers are working
on the same project, or when one programmer is writing a
program using one or several packages developed previously
by someone else.
.B 1
The natural submodule in SIMULA is a CLASS. This CLASS is sometimes
separately compiled
(See Chapter 4).
However, programs using a separately compiled CLASS do not
ordinarily use directly all the attributes
of the separately compiled CLASS. Some attributes are internal
to the CLASS and only used by code inside the CLASS.
Other attributes are "ports of entry" to the CLASS. Often,
these "ports of entry" are PROCEDURE attributes to the CLASS,
since PROCEDUREs can include code to check the correctness
of the input parameters before performing the requested
actions.
.B 1
The simplest use of the HIDDEN PROTECTED specification is to declare as
HIDDEN PROTECTED those attributes which are not to be accessible outside
the body of the CLASS. Suppose for example
.index ^^CLASS body, protection of access to\\
that we have a CLASS "data#base" where the user of the CLASS
need only access the features of the CLASS through the attribute
PROCEDUREs "put" and "get". All other attributes of the CLASS
are then declared HIDDEN PROTECTED as in the following simplified excerpt:
.B 1
.nofill;.nojustify
.test page 16
.IF FOA;.NUMBER 157;.PS 80,80;.PAGE;
.ENDIF FOA
CLASS data__base;
HIDDEN PROTECTED diskdata, has__been__read, filesize,
filepos, internal;
BEGIN
REF (directfile) diskdata;
BOOLEAN has__been__read;
INTEGER filesize, filepos;
PROCEDURE internal; COMMENT this PROCEDURE is only
used internally inside the class data__base;;
PROCEDURE PUT; COMMENT port accessible from
outside the CLASS ...;;
PROCEDURE GET; COMMENT port accessible from
outside the CLASS ...;;
COMMENT etc. ;
END of data__base;
.fill;.justify
.p 0,1,5
If most of the attributes of a CLASS are to be HIDDEN PROTECTED,
and only a few attributes are to be non-protected ports, then it is
easier to list the non-protected attributes. This can be done using
the NOT HIDDEN PROTECTED specification. The CLASS in the example
above could then instead begin:
.p 0,1,4
.nofill
CLASS data_base;
NOT HIDDEN PROTECTED put, get;
BEGIN ...
.fill
.p 0,1,5
The NOT HIDDEN PROTECTED specification indicates that all attributes
which can be specified HIDDEN PROTECTED at that place in the program,
and which are not listed in the specification, are specified to be
HIDDEN PROTECTED.
.p 0,1,2
The syntax of the HIDDEN PROTECTED specification is defined in section
2.5.5 above.
.SUBTITLE ^^CHAPTER\\ 2.5.7.1
.p 0,2,10
2.5.7.1##^^SEMANTICS OF THE HIDDEN PROTECTED SPECIFICATION
.B 1
Attributes declared PROTECTED are only visible
inside the body of the
class where they have been specified PROTECTED, and inside the body
of subclasses to this class and inside the body of blocks prefixed
.index ^^Subclass, protection against\\
with this class or a subclass to it.
.B 1
Note that inside this body, the attributes are visible not only
by direct access but also by remote access (dot notation or
INSPECT statements) to other objects of the same CLASS.
[NOTE! Accessing local PROTECTED attributes remotely has not yet been confirmed by
SIMULA DEVELOPMENT GROUP.]
.B 1
If an identifier in the source program, outside this scope,
would without PROTECTED refer to the PROTECTED variable,
that identifier will instead act as if the PROTECTED variable
cannot be seen, it will thus either refer to a statically enclosing
identifier with the same name, or it will give the compile time
error message "UNDECLARED IDENTIFIER".
.IF FOA;.NUMBER 158;.PS 80,80;.PAGE;
.ENDIF FOA
.B 1
Attributes declared HIDDEN are invisible in subclasses
to the class where the HIDDEN specification occurs and in blocks prefixed
with this class or subclasses to it.
.B 1
The combined specification HIDDEN PROTECTED will thus make
the variables invisible everywhere except in the body of the
class with the HIDDEN PROTECTED specification.
.B
A VIRTUAL
attribute may only be specified PROTECTED in the same CLASS heading
where the VIRTUAL specification is placed.
If a VIRTUAL attribute is declared HIDDEN, the effect is that
procedures with the same name in subclasses will not
take part in the virtual match. They will instead act as ordinary
(non-virtual) procedures.
.B 1
Attributes of a class may only be specified PROTECTED
in the heading of the class where the attribute is declared.
Attributes of a class may, however, be declared HIDDEN in a
subclass to it.
Such a HIDDEN specification will only be valid for subclasses
to the class where the HIDDEN specification is placed.
.B
An attribute may not be specified HIDDEN except when it is specified
PROTECTED in the same class or in a
superclass.
.B
If a HIDDEN specification contains an identifier
which is ambiguous, because the same identifier has been
used for different attributes within the prefix chain,
then the HIDDEN specification will take effect for all
these attributes with the same name. [NOTE! This mechanism
may be changed in the future, depending on SIMULA DEVELOPMENT GROUP
decisions. The definition might be changed so that each HIDDEN just
nullifies one PROTECTED level at a time.]
.B
All HIDDEN
specifications at the start of a certain CLASS must either be
of the NOT kind or of
the positive kind. Mixed specifications are illegal. The same is true for the
PROTECTED specifications. However, HIDDEN and PROTECTED may be of different
kind.

.B
The attributes "length", "width" and "height" of the following
CLASS can be given values when a new CLASS object is generated,
but can never be changed in an existing CLASS object.
.B
The attribute "density" can only be changed through the procedure
"set_density" which checks that the new value is within a legal range.
.B
The attribute values can all be used outside the CLASS body, but
not redefined, since the externally accessible ports are all PROCEDUREs.

As is seen above, the internal, HIDDEN attributes i__suc and i__pred
are invisible outside LINKAGE, except within the subclasses LINK
(and HEAD, analoguous to LINK) since they are declared PROTECTED
in LINKAGE, but declared HIDDEN in LINK (and HEAD).

INSPECT NEW a DO outint(bl.i); COMMENT legal;
END;
.B
.fill
Class a has a local class B which is HIDDEN and PROTECTED.
This protects against all statements where the name of
the local class appears. Thus, the following is impossible
outside the body of a:
.B
> Creation of new objects of the class b using the NEW statement.
.B
> Declaration of references to b.
.B
> Use of the WHEN clause in the INSPECT statement.
.B
Nevertheless, it is possible to access the attributes of the
instance of the class b referred to by the reference variable
b1 in the class a, since b1 is not HIDDEN PROTECTED.

COMMENT here, "NEW d" will not cause any error!!;
b:= TRUE;
END;
INSPECT NEW c DO NEW d; COMMENT causes error!!!;
END;
.B
.fill
If you want to protect just the "NEW" command and nothing
else, this construct can be used. Note however that the construct
in example v causes compile time error, the construct in example
vi causes run time error.
.B
Class c has a boolean attribute B which is used to indicate
if the statement part is executed. Such an attribute may
be used to inhibit instance generation of a local class
through a programmed runtime check like that on line 6.
The "NEW d" phrase on line 12 will result in a call on the
"abort" procedure.

--------------------------------------------
.B 1
There are two ways in which you can achieve variable length
TEXTs in SIMULA. You can either have variable length TEXTs with
a fixed upper length limit (like VARYING in PL/I), or with no
upper limit.
.B 1
In the first case, you allocate a main text with the upper length
limit as its length. You can then use subtexts when you want
shorter texts, and you can change length by
.B 1;.INDENT 10
T:- T.MAIN.SUB(1,NEWLENGTH)
.B 1
If you want no fixed upper limit (except the system limit 262143),
you can allocate new texts with the procedure BLANKS,
e.g. "t:- BLANKS(newlength)". A concatenation procedure would
.index ^^Concatenation of TEXTs\\
.index ^^TEXTs, concatenation of\\
.index ^^Character strings, concatenation of\\
.index ^^String of characters, concatenation of\\
.index ^^Catenation of TEXTs\\
.index ^^Linking of TEXTs\\
then for example copy the parts into subtexts of t by
.B 1;.left margin 10;.nofill
t.SUB(1,PART1.LENGTH):= PART1;
T.SUB(PART1.LENGTH+1,PART2.LENGTH):= PART2;
.B 1
.left margin 0;.fill
(A concatenation procedure will be available in the SIMULA
program library. See part III of the DECsystem-10 SIMULA Handbook.)
.B 1
If you want linking of character strings without copying, you
can easily implement this yourself in SIMULA using e.g_. SIMSET.

THEN THERE IS A NEED FOR DIVIDING THAT LARGE PROGRAM PRODUCT INTO MODULES SO THAT:

OUTSIDE THIS DEFINED INTERFACE.
.B 1;.LM4;.I -4
2)##^FOR A LARGE COMPUTER PROGRAM, THE COMPILATION TIME CAN BE
SHORTENED WITH SEPARATE COMPILATION. ^THIS WILL LOWER COSTS
AND ALSO LOWER TURN-AROUND TIMES. ^THE LATTER IS ESPECIFALLY

4.2##^G\\OOD AND BAD SEPARATE COMPILATION
.BR
#####---------------------------------
.B 1
^THE TWO MAIN REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD SYSTEM FOR SEPARATE COMPILATION
ARE SECURITY AND EFFICIENCY.
.index ^^Security although separate compilation\\
.B 1
^BY SECURITY IS MEANT THAT THE COMPILER SHOULD PROVIDE ERROR CHECKING
AS THOROUGH AS IF THE MODULES HAD BEEN COMPILED AS ONE LARGE PROGRAM.
^ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IS CHECKING THE TYPE AND STRUCTURE OF DATA
WHICH IS TRANSFERRED BETWEEN SEPARATELY COMPILED MODULES. ^THIS
INTERFACE BETWEEN MODULES MUST BE DEFINABLE AND CHECKABLE. ^THIS
CHECKING MAKES IT EASIER TO DESIGN A PROGRAM IN SUCH A WAY THAT
YOU CAN FEEL SURE AND EVEN PROVE THAT THE PROGRAM IS CORRECT.
.B 1
^AS A WARNING, LOOK AT MOST ^^FORTRAN\\ SYSTEMS, WHERE THE COMPILER
USUALLY DOES NOT CHECK THE DATA WHICH IS TRANSFERRED BETWEEN SUBROUTINES
(AS PARAMETERS OR AS ^^COMMON\\ BLOCKS), AND WHERE THIS IS
.index ^^COMMON statement of FORTRAN\\
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR DIFFICULT-TO-FIND ERRORS IN
LARGE ^^FORTRAN\\ PROGRAMS.
.B 1
^EFFICIENCY REQUIRES THAT COMPILATION SHOULD REALLY BE DONE SEPARATELY.
^WE DO NOT WANT TO ACHIEVE "SEPARATE COMPILATION" BY RECOMPILING MOST
OF THE PROGRAM EVERY TIME, OR BY DEFERRING A LOT OF THE COMPILATION
WORK TO THE ^LINKING ^LOADER (WHICH HANDLES THE WHOLE PROGRAM) OR TO
THE RUN TIME SYSTEM (MAKING EXECUTION TIME SLOWER BECAUSE OF ERROR
CHECKS AT RUN TIME).
.B 1
^BOTH THESE REQUIREMENTS CANNOT BE COMPLETELY FULFILLED, SINCE SECURITY
REQUIRES THAT THE COMPILER DOES SOME SCANNING OF OTHER MODULES WHEN
ONE MODULE IS COMPILED SEPARATELY. ^HOWEVER, THE ^^SIMULA\\ SYSTEM FOR
SEPARATE COMPILATION REDUCES THIS UNAVOIDABLE DOUBLE-SCANNING TO
A MINIMUM WHILE STILL RETAINING COMPLETE SECURITY.
.B 1
^^Separate compilation in SIMULA can also be combined with the
HIDDEN PROTECTED concept (See Chapter 2.5.7) to provide further
control of the module interface.\\

HE WANTS. ^HE CAN, IF HE SO WISHES, COMPILE SEPARATELY
.B 1;.LM 9;.I -4
1.##^COROUTINES#-#THAT IS E.G. ROUTINES WORKING ON A COMMON DATA
BUFFER, ONE FILLS THE BUFFER, BUT ONLY WHEN IT IS EMPTY, THE
OTHER EMPTIES THE BUFFER, BUT ONLY WHEN IT IS FULL.
.B 1;.I -4
2.##^PASSIVE DATA BLOCKS#-#A CLASS CAN BE A SEPARATELY COMPILED
DATA BLOCK CORRESPONDING TO THE ^^COMMON\\ STATEMENT IN ^^FORTRAN\\.
.index ^^COMMON statement of FORTRAN\\
^THE PASSIVE DATA STRUCTURE CAN ALSO BE SOME MORE COMPLEX
STRUCTURE, SUCH AS AN ORDERED OR UNORDERED SET OF DATA BLOCKS,
A TREE STRUCTURE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF DATA STRUCTURE.
.B 1;.I -4
3.##^PROGRAM LEVELS#-#BY USING THE SUBCLASS CONCEPT OF ^^SIMULA\\, A
PROGRAM CAN BE WRITTEN AT SEVERAL LEVELS. ^EACH LEVEL INTRODUCES
MORE ADVANCED CONCEPTS BASED ON THE CONCEPTS INTRODUCED IN THE
PREVIOUS LEVELS, AND EACH LEVEL IS A SUBCLASS OF A SEPARATELY
COMPILED CLASS. ^THE MAIN PROGRAM IS A "HIGH-LEVEL" PROGRAM
UTILIZING THE "LOWER-LEVEL" CONCEPTS INTRODUCED BY THE PREVIOUS
SEPARATELY COMPILED CLASSES.

^THE DIFFICULTY IN IMPLEMENTING PART-COMPILATION IN A ^^SIMULA\\
SYSTEM IS TO ENSURE FULL ERROR-CHECKING SECURITY. ^TO DO THIS,
THE COMPILER MUST KNOW ABOUT OTHER SEPARATELY COMPILED MODULES
WHEN ONE MODULE IS COMPILED, SINCE SOME ERRORS CAN ONLY BE FOUND
BY COMPARING INFORMATION IN SEVERAL SEPARATELY COMPILED MODULES.
.B 1

WHEN IT IS COMPILED, OUTPUTS NOT ONLY A FILE WITH THE OBJECT
PROGRAM, BUT ALSO ANOTHER FILE WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF EXTERNALLY
ACCESSIBLE ATTRIBUTES OF THAT MODULE. (^THAT IS; ^ATTRIBUTES

#####-----------------------------------------------------
.B 1
^THE EXECUTION OF A ^^SIMULA\\ PROCESS IS ONLY INTERRUPTED WHERE
EXPLICIT STATEMENTS LIKE ^^"HOLD"\\ OR "^^PASSIVATE\\" CAUSE CONTROL
TO TRANSFER FROM THE PROCESS TO THE SCHEDULER. ^A COMMON
ERROR WHEN PROGRAMMING REAL TIME PROGRAMS IS THAT ONE
PARALLEL PROCESS USES HALF-READY DATA, PROCUCED BY ANOTHER
PARALLEL PROCESS. ^FOR SMALL IN-CORE UPDATES, A PROGRAMMER
IN ^^SIMULA\\ CAN AVOID THIS ERROR BY ONLY PUTTING STATEMENTS
LIKE "^^HOLD\\" AND "^^PASSIVATE\\" AT PLACES IN THE SOURCE PROGRAM
WHERE DATA UPDATES ARE COMPLETE.
.B 1
^FOR MORE COMPLEX UPDATES, A SPECIAL PROCESS CAN BE WRITTEN
TO ACCESS THE CRITICAL DATA, AND OTHER PROCESSES REQUESTING
UPDATES CAN BE QUEUED TO THE SPECIAL PROCESS. ^WHEN A ^^SIMULA\\
PROCESS EXECUTES A STATEMENT LIKE "^^HOLD\\" OR "^^PASSIVATE\\",
THEN CONTROL GOES TO THE ^^SIMULA\\ SCHEDULER, WHICH THEN
TRANSFERS CONTROL TO ANOTHER PROCESS.
.B 1
"^^HOLD(A)\\" STOPS EXECUTION OF THE CURRENT PROCESS BUT ASKS
THE ^^SIMULA\\ SCHEDULER TO RESTART IT AFTER ^A TIME UNITS. ^IF ^A
IS ZERO, THEN THE CURRENT PROCESS IS STOPPED AND PLACED AT
THE END OF A QUEUE OF CURRENTLY ACTIVE PROCESSES. ^IF A
NUMBER OF PROCESSES SUCCESSIVELY MAKE "^^HOLD(0.0)\\" THEN THEY
WILL THUS GET ^C^P^U POWER IN A ROUND ROBIN FASHION.
.B 1
^A ^^SIMULA\\ PROGRAMMER CAN THUS ENSURE FAST RESPONSE TO
EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS BY NOT MAKING TOO MUCH COMPUTATIONS
BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE "^^HOLDS\\".
.PG;.B 1
"^^PASSIVATE\\" STOPS THE CURRENT PROCESS INDEFINITELY, IT MUST
BE ACTIVATED AGAIN FROM SOME OTHER PROCESS.
.B 1
^PROCESSES WAITING FOR EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS ARE PUT INTO A
SPECIAL QUEUE CALLED ^^TERMINALQUEUE\\. ^AS SOON AS CONTROL IS
TRANSFERRED TO THE ^^SIMULA\\ SCHEDULER (E.G. BY CALLS TO
"^^HOLD\\" OR "^^PASSIVATE\\") THEN THE SCHEDULER FIRST SCANS THIS
QUEUE TO SEE IF DATA HAS ARRIVED FROM THE INPUT DEVICE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TERMINAL PROCESS.
.B 1
^IF A PROCESS IS FOUND IN THE ^^TERMINALQUEUE\\ FOR WHICH DATA
HAS ARRIVED ON THE ASSOCIATED INPUT DEVICE, THEN THE ^^SIMULA\\
SCHEDULER ACTIVATES THIS PROCESS IMMEDIATELY.
.B 1
^THE EVENT CREATED BY THE FIRST EXTERNAL INTERRUPT FOUND IS
THUS PLACED IN FRONT OF OTHER CURRENTLY ACTIVE PROCESSES IN
THE SEQUENCING SET. ^THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT DONE AT THE TIME
OF THE INTERRUPT, THE PLACING IS DONE AT THE TIME OF THE
NEXT ACTIVATION OF THE SCHEDULER AFTER THE INTERRUPT.
.B 1
^INSIDE A PROCESS, A CALL "^^WAIT(TERMINALQUEUE\\)" WILL THUS
TELL THE SYSTEM TO MAKE THIS PROCESS PASSIVE, BUT TO
REACTIVATE IT AS SOON AS NEW DATA HAS ARRIVED ON THE INPUT
DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROCESS.
.B 1
^A NEW "^^BOOLEAN\\" STANDARD PROCEDURE "^^DATAREADY\\" IS ALSO
INTRODUCED. ^DATAREADY\\ IS AN ATTRIBUTE TO ^^INFILE\\ AND IS ^^TRUE\\

^^PROCEDURE\\ DESYNCHRONIZE;##^^COMMENT\\ AND THIS STOPS
SYNCHRONIZATION;
.B 1
^OF COURSE PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION OF REAL AND SIMULATED TIME
IS NOT POSSIBLE SINCE THE SPEED OF THE COMPUTER ITSELF IS
NOT INFINITE. ^BY SYNCHRONIZATION IS MEANT THAT THE
SIMULATED TIME SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE CURRENT
SYNCHRONIZATION PERIOD MUST NEVER BE LARGER THAN THE REAL
TIME SINCE THE SAME BEGINNING.
.B 1
^IF THE ^^SIMULA\\ SCHEDULER FINDS THAT THE NEXT PROCESS TO BE
SCHEDULED HAS A TOO LARGE SIMULATED TIME, THEN THE ^^SIMULA\\
SCHEDULER LETS THE ^^SIMULA\\ PROGRAM GO TO SLEEP FOR THE
NECESSARY TIME INTERVAL. ^ANY INTERRUPTS CAUSED BY INPUT
WILL HOWEVER START THE ^^SIMULA\\ PROGRAM AGAIN. (^ON A ^D^E^C
SYSTEM-10 COMPUTER, THE ^^HIBERNATE UUO\\ CAN BE USED TO PROGRAM
THIS.)
.B 1
^THE PARAMETER "TIMEUNIT" TO THE PROCEDURE "SYNCHRONIZE" IS
THERE SINCE THE TIME UNIT MAY NOT BE THE SAME IN THE
SIMULATION AND IN THE REAL WORLD. "TIMEUNIT" IS THE SIZE OF
THE SIMULATION TIME UNIT IN SECONDS. ^THUS, IF SIMULATED
TIME IS MEASURED IN SECONDS, "TIMEUNIT" SHOULD BE 1.0, IF

5.3.5##^COORDINATED CONTROL OF SIMULTANEOUS REAL PROCESSES
.BR
#######--------------------------------------------------
.B 1
^WHEN A REAL TIME COMPUTER PROGRAM COMMUNICATES WITH SEVERAL
SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSES IN THE REAL WORLD, THE COMPUTER
PROGRAM MAY WANT TO CONTROL ITSELF OR THE REAL-WORLD
PROCESSES DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS IN THE VARIOUS PROCESSES.
.B 1
^EXAMPLE 1:##^A SIMULATION PROGRAM MAY WANT TO CONTINUE THE
SIMULATION WHEN ALL THE TERMINALS HAVE ANSWERED CERTAIN
QUESTIONS.
.B 1
^EXAMPLE 2:##^A PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM MAY MONITOR SEVERAL
REAL-WORLD PROCESSES, AND INITIATE OTHER REAL-WORLD ACTIONS
WHEN PREVIOUS PROCESSES ARE READY.
.B 1
^THIS IS SIMILAR TO ^^PERT\\-NETWORKS IN PLANNING, WHERE CERTAIN
ACTIONS MUST WAIT FOR OTHER ACTIONS TO FINISH.
.B 1
^TO ILLUSTRATE THIS, A SIMPLE EXAMPLE ASSUMES A ROBOT WITH
THREE ARMS. ^A PROCESS "PUT NAIL IN BOARD" IN INITIATED.
^THIS PROCESS INITIATES THREE SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSES, THE
FIRST ARM GETS A HAMMER, THE SECOND ARM GETS A NAIL, AND THE
THIRD ARM GETS A BOARD. ^WHEN ALL THESE THREE PRECESSES ARE
FINISHED, THE HAMMER IS USED TO PUSH THE NAIL INTO THE
BOARD.
.B 1
^IN OTHER LANGUAGES, SPECIAL CONSTRUCTS LIKE "FORK" AND
"JOIN" ARE USED TO CREATE PARALLEL PROCESSES AND THEN
CONTINUE WHEN ALL THE PROCESSES ARE READY. ^BUT THE SAME
THING IS VERY SIMPLE TO PROGRAM IN ^^SIMULA\\, AND IN ^^SIMULA\\ WE
DO NOT HAVE TO WTIN UNTIL A PROCESS IS FULLY FINISHED, WE
CAN ALSO EASILY START A LATER PROCESS WHEN STILL RUNNNING
