Re: Need to develop a compiler "source to source".

For rather complex source-to-source translations (specification
extention of programming language to that language,
http://www.unitesk.com) we use free TreeDL tool
(http://treedl.sourceforge.org) with ANTLR for lexer/parser
generation.


TreeDL allows to specify heterogenous AST structure in very clear way
and and generates Java (in near future C#) code for tree classes. It
also provides simple but powerful enough library for code generation
and some auxiliary facilities (like localizable error messages).


See documentation and examples at tool homepage.


There is similar approach called TreeCC:

As IDE for integration I recommend Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org
