Fellow Haskellers and C-- enthusiasts, I am pleased to announce the initial alpha release of a C-- frontend (parser, pretty printer, and semantic checker) written in Haskell. My goal when beginning this project was to create a modular frontend that could be used both by people writing and by those targeting C-- compilers. This implementation attempts to follow the C-- spec as exactly as possible. Please enjoy. You can get the source from the darcs source repository with the following command: darcs get --partial --tag '0.1' http://www.eecs.tufts.edu/~rdocki01/cmm/ or you may simply browse the source at the above address. Cmm Frontend -========================- == What is it? This package is a C-- frontend, including a lexer (scanner), parser, pretty-printer and semantic checker. It also includes a unit test suite. == Why do I care? The Cmm frontend allows you to target C-- easily by using the pretty printer or to fill in the backend of a C-- compiler without having to deal with the uninteresting details of parsing. == How is it licensed? The Cmm frontent is avaliable under a BSD3 license. See the LICENSE file for details. == How do I build it? Cmm frontend uses a Cabal build system. The follwing commands assume you have a haskell interpreter in your system path named 'runhaskell'. All commands are run from this directory. To install for the whole system: runhaskell Setup.hs configure runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs install To install for a single user: runhaskell Setup.hs configure --prefix=/home/<username> runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs install --user To build the API docs: runhaskell Setup.hs haddock == Who is responsable for this mess? You can send bug reports, rants and comments to: Robert Dockins <robdockins AT fastmail.fm> Rob Dockins Speak softly and drive a Sherman tank. Laugh hard; it's a long way to the bank. -- TMBG
