CLU REFERENCE MANUALOctober 1979

Abstract
This document serves both as an introduction to CLU and as a language reference manual. Sections 1 through 4 present an overview of the language. These sections highlight the essential features of CLU, and discuss how CLU differs from other, more conventional, languages. Sections 5 though 13 form the reference manual proper. These sections describe each aspect of CLU in detail, and discuss the proper use of various features. Appendices 1 though III provide concise summaries of CLU''s syntax, data types, and I/O facilities. Appendix IV contains example programs.

Abstraction mechanisms in CLU
Proceedings of an ACM conference on Language design for reliable softwareCLU is a new programming language designed to support the use of abstractions in program construction. Work in programming methodology has led to the realization that three kinds of abstractions, procedural, control, and especially data abstractions, ...
