ABSTRACT

Linguistic mechanisms used in CLU to support 1) structured exception handling, 2) iteration over abstract objects, and 3) parameterized abstractions are briefly reviewed, and methods of realizing these mechanisms are described. The mechanisms discussed support features that are likely to be included in other programming languages, and the implementation methods should be applicable to a wide range of languages.
