BLISS-10 Programmer's Reference Manual

This document provides a comprehensive technical reference for the BLISS-10 programming language, designed for the DECsystem-10. It covers language syntax, semantics, and system-level features including structures, macros, routines, and memory allocation. It serves as a specification for the BLISS-10 compiler (Version 4), detailing concepts such as expression evaluation, name scopes, and run-time environment representation (calling sequences, stack configuration, and register usage). Additionally, it includes example implementations for I/O and debugging, along with a complete syntax summary and error message index.
