CX

Stratego -- Strategies for Program Transformation

Introduction

CX is an aterm bridge for CIL, an existing C front-end implement in OCaml. The Stratego/XT-based package CX uses this bridge to read C code. CX will become a full set of tools for combining CIL and Stratego for the implementation of C transformations and analysis. The main difference with other Stratego/XT projects that provide support for C (Transformers) is that this uses an existing C front-end and not an SDF-based parser. The advantage is that you get the solid support of the existing frontend. CIL supports some C dialects as well. The disadvantage is that there is no grammar from which you can derive useful things for use with Stratego/XT.

Features

  • C to ATerm bridge based on CIL
  • Pretty-printer from CIL to C

Latest Developments

Distributions (tarball, rpm, srpm) of the head revision are created continuously:

The distributions contain the latest of the latest developments, but if you really want to, the latest sources can be checked out using:

  svn checkout https://svn.strategoxt.org/repos/StrategoXT/cx/trunk
Before you can configure the package as described above you have to run the ./bootstrap script.

Installation

Install the package with the usual sequence of commands:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

You might need to set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH if you did not install the dependencies in a standard location. Configure will tell you to do this if it cannot find aterm, sdf or strategoxt.
