Hello! I'm interested in applying for GSoC for extending Bison to other languages. But I'd like to ask some questions first: 1. List of languages. I have strong knowledge of C/C++, Java, Pascal and base knowledge of C#, python, perl. I found Java skeleton is being implemented. Will this assignment include cooperating with Java one's author to finish it (if needed) or just leave java alone? Concerning C#, python, perl: while I don't have very much experience with these languages, it seems to me, that generated parser's code is not very complex syntactically, so I'm almost sure that my knowledges (and good docs ;)) will be enough. Also, how many languages do you expect to be implemented?
2. I think that not rare scenario is when somebody wants to create grammar file to be converted to several languages, not one. But here a problem with user actions arises. He will have to keep several copies of input file with user actions in different languages. I propose to add following feature: user creates multiple-language user actions, marking different parts somehow, so that bison takes only one part of each action when using specific skeleton. Looking forward to hearing some comments, before I apply via google. -- Thank you, Maxim Katsev, Kiev National University _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
