Hi, The subject sounds more complicated than my problem is: I have an AST that results from a quite simple language. Now we want to transform that language to C++-code using ANTLR and string templates as proposed in the books. Since our language ist not static (keywords are stored in a database and not directly in the parser) transformation should be done by enriching the AST with the coresponding code fragments for a statement in the source language. A C++-Function will retrieve the translation from the database. Q1: Is this a good way to go in this case?
Since the AST creation is done in a C++ application we cannot use database access when running the transformation using string templates. The transformation is made by a seperate program and the AST is handed over as a string. Q2: If enriching the AST with the code translation for every statement is the way to go: Should the additional node (that for the code) created by an arbitrary action or is there a better way? To make things a bit clearer here is a short example: Input language: Motor einschalten Fahrzeug beschleunigen Target language: Simulator.Engine(EngineOn); Simulator.Speed_up(); Regards Heiko Mit freundlichem Gruß Heiko Folkerts -- _______________________________________________________ DAVID Software GmbH · Wendenring 1 · 38114 Braunschweig Tel.: +49 531 24379-14 Fax.: +49 531 24379-79 E-Mail: mailto:[email protected] WWW: http://www.david-software.de Eintragung: Amtsgericht Braunschweig, HRB 3167 Geschäftsführer: Frank Ptok _______________________________________________________ List: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/listinfo/antlr-interest Unsubscribe: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/options/antlr-interest/your-email-address -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "il-antlr-interest" group.
