Re: Compiler generators that construct abstract syntax tree

The termprocessor Kimwitu helps you to do this. You give it the abstract
syntax, and it generates the data types and the create functions to build
the tree. If you use it together with yacc, you call these create
functions from the yacc actions.


In addition to the create functions, you get general functions to test for
equality etc., (among them routines to read and write an abstract syntax
tree in the Synthesizer Generator (asc-ssl-v3) file format). You can
define functions over your abstract syntax using C extended with pattern
matching, and define rewrite rules and unparse rules.


Kimwitu is freely available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.utwente.nl:/pub/src/kimwitu
For more information on Kimwitu, or if you grab it, and want to be
informed of updates, send mail to kimwitu-distribution@cs.utwente.nl.
