[ANN] an EBNF parser and coding pattern tool (LGPL)

"CodeWorker" is a scripting language that is intended to assist the
developer in writing source code or documentation. It is distributed
under the ''GNU Lesser General Public License'' at the URL
"http://codeworker.free.fr".


This application is a 'semiskilled worker' specialized in generating
repetitive and tedious source code and text.


The software doesn't care of parochialism about languages and can
generate JAVA code as well as C++ or ADA or LaTeX or your own output
file, whatever it is.


Generic programming and implementation of coding patterns become very
easy.


The way it proceeds is:
- to acquire modeling data from an extended BNF parser interpreter,
- to handle parse trees well adapted to represent a design and easy
to walk,
- to generate source code via kinds of 'coding patterns'.


It carries out these tasks via a scripting language, whose syntax is
particularly studied for:
- describing an extended BNF: the syntax looks like the one commonly
admitted for BNF,
- providing all functions, statements and procedures that are
expected for a procedural language,
- defining 'coding patterns': the principle is the same as XSLT, JSP,
PHP and so on, but no target language is imposed (nor XML neither HTML
neither JAVA ...).


The predicated-LL(k) grammar is powerful enough to allow parsing any
kind of file (C++, 'Petal' file of Rational ROSE, LaTeX, ...).


The documentation ("http://codeworker.free.fr/CodeWorker.pdf") is
written in "frenglish" (easy to understand for French people, but very
far from Shakespeare!). I'll be very glad to take your remarks into
account (email "codeworker@free.fr") to improve it!
