To help in debugging code for my thesis work, I have developed a
parser ( using flex and bison ) for Pascal that builds the syntax tree
for a program. The tool can then output then syntax tree in GML (
Graph Modeling Language ) format which can be fed into a graph
visualization tool that is being deleveled here at Auburn University.
The URL for the graph tool is


http://www.eng.auburn.edu/department/cse/research/graph_drawing/graph_drawing.html


The tool does no sort of code generation what-so-ever, but being able
to look at the syntax tree is a big help. If you are interested, send
me e-mail and I can get more details to you.
