Hi! Some of you might have seen Jan Reucker in the users forum. He tries to use Argo for one of his projects (CRRCsim), that is written in C++. They try to use the c++ module to reverse engineer some of the code and to define new APIs for some components. Problem: the c++ module does no preprocessing, so you have to preprocess each file per hand, before you can import ist. Not so good. Several options:
- try to find an installed cpp and call it. Problem might be to find it, handle temp files etc. Make the import somewhat less stable, so I'd prefer an integrated solution, that comes with the Argo download. - Integrate some preprocessor written in Java into Argo: http://www.anarres.org/projects/jcpp/ http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Code-Generators/jcpp-26034.shtml Problem here is the license (GPL(2)) and the integration of foreign code into Argo (to some degree). - Use the Antlr cpp grammar to generate our own preprocessor: http://antlr.org/grammar/1166665121622/Cpp.tar Problem seems to be, that it's somewhat dated and not so much used/updated recently. Tried to generate a parser with Antlr 3.0.1, but no luck so far. Guess the grammar needs some work. - Integrate a preprocessor into the cpp lexer: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-c_plusplus_antlr/?S_TACT=105AGY06&; I guess I'd prefer this approach, although it taints the cpp grammar even more, than it already is, which make an update to a newer grammar even harder than it already is. One workaround could be to convince the Antlr folks, that the preprocessor should be integrated into the grammar anyway, so they would work with such a modified grammar in the future. What do you think? Better ideas anyone? Ciao, Andreas -- Super-Aktion nur in der GMX Spieleflat: 10 Tage für 1 Euro.
