I have interesting problem to solve. We have a language called "Description Language" less widely known outside but used very much in automation domain. The examples are given below. By definition, language is readable and I could could not provide the language spec due to restriction (really close source in this way).
The idea is to convert the 'Description Language' code to Lua code using Python. This involves 2 things. One is parsing and another is generation. In between 2, I need to make a tree as a output from parser, kind of AST. The generated Lua source base shall be used in mobile phones, Desktop etc. The following are few example code, extracted and modified. Otherwise they will sue us.. -------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "constant.dl" #define MY_DEF 1 #define WIDGET_TYPE 1 WIDGET mywidget { TITLE "My widget"; TYPE WIDGET_TYPE; ELEMENTS { element1, element2, element3 } } IMPORT WIDGET mywidget { REFINE widget_name{ REDEFINE TITLE "Your widget"; } } #ifdef YOUR_WIDGET_ALLOWED WIDGET yourwidget { TITLE "Your widget"; TYPE WIDGET_TYPE; ELEMENTS { element1, element2, element3 } } #endif For Loop but needs pre-declaration of loop variable int x; for ( x=0; x < 8; x++) { if ( something_true ) do_this(argument1, argument2); } supports do { statements; }while(condition); supports while(condition) { statements; } switch statement also supported -------------------------------------------------------------------- I prefer Python for this conversion. Any idea is appreciated. Regards, Gopalakrishnan _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
