This package contains Sdf2Haskell, a generator that takes an SDF grammar as input and produces a corresponding set of Haskell datatype definitions as output.

--- GENERAL ------------------------------------------------------------------

For information see:

http://www.cs.vu.nl/Strafunski

Contents of this package:

• generator Directory with the files that make up the generator
• examples Directory with examples of using the generator
• scripts Directory with sets of reusable make rules

--- PREREQUISITES ------------------------------------------------------------

Prerequisites:

I. Your path must contain the following programs:

• GHC (version 6.4 or higher)
• DrIFT (version 2.1.2)
• sdf2table (version 1.10)
• sglr (version 3.4.1 or higher)
• implodePT (version 1.1 is known to work)

II. The following Strafunski packages must be available:

• StrategyLib-5.0
• haterm-1.5

Preferably, these packages should be placed in the same directory as this Sdf2Haskell package.

GHC and DrIFT can easily be found via the Haskell organization home page at: http://www.haskell.org/.

The programs sdf2haskell, sglr, and implodePT can be obtained in various ways:

• by installing the "sdf2" package from the Online Package Base at http://www.program-transformation.org/package-base/ (source distribution only).

• by installing StrategoXT's prerequisite package "sdf2-bundle" from http://www.stratego-language.org/ (source and bindary distributions available).

• by installing the ASF+SDF Meta-Environment, which can be obtained as "asfsdf-meta" from http://www.cwi.nl/projects/MetaEnv/

The required Strafunski packages can be downloaded from the Strafunfski home page http://www.cs.vu.nl/Strafunski/.

--- INSTALL ------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sdf2Haskell generator can be configured, built, and installed IN PLACE, as follows:

./configure [flags] gmake

For help on the configuration flags, type:

./configure --help

In particular, you might want to use the --with-haterm and --with-StrategyLib flags to point out where the required Strafunksi packages are.

--- RUN ----------------------------------------------------------------------

After configuration and builing, the Sdf2Haskell generator is available in:

./generator/Sdf2Haskell

You may want to extend your PATH to include ./generator.

You can now run the generator as follows:

sdf2haskell -i -m -o

where the is a file containing the SDF grammar you want to feed to the generator as input, is the name of the Haskell module you want to be generated, and is the name of the file into which you want the generated Haskell file to be written. Use the -p option if you want to generate customizable pretty-print functions instead of datatypes that represent abstract syntax trees.

--- EXAMPLES -----------------------------------------------------------------

To see the examples in action, you can type:

gmake check

Do this in the top level directory to run all examples, or in a specific example directory to run a single one. The example in examples/twosorts is the most simple one which only invokes the generator. The other examples (for Java and Cobol) also involve compilation of code depending on the generated Haskell datatypes as well as parser generation and parser invocation.
