To be honest I can't see why the "DSL" is in there, since there's no dependency in any of the patterns on the language being domain-specific. It would be unfortunate if people didn't buy the book because they think it's not applicable to implementing a general-purpose language rather than a DSL. How about "Language Engineering Patterns: Building Processors for Domain-Specific and General-Purpose Languages"? -- David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ http://davidsarah.livejournal.com 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.
