Some tools for the SDL specification language generate C, C++ or some
other high level languages from SDL specifications. These
specifications are flow char like with algebra specifications of data
types and object orientation for structuring programs. Check
http://www.tdr.dk/public/SDL/tools.html for vendors.


(SDL is a huge specification language designed by International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) for specifying phone systems and other
telecommunication systems. ITU is a sub body of United Nations and
writes standards.)
