Evolution of the Meta-Assembly Program A generalized assembler called a "meta-assembler" is described. The meta-assembler is defined and factors which contributed to its evolution are presented. How a meta-assembler is made to function as an assembly program is described. Finally, the implication of meta-assemblers on compiler design is discussed. CACM March, 1966 Ferguson, D. E.
