Integrate with Rats! front-ends #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
For many purposes combinator-based parsers are not ideal since details like 
tree construction need 
to be specified manually.  Hence, we want to also support some methods for 
getting tree data into 
Kiama  code using generated parsers.  Rats! seems like a good choice since it 
has the expressibility 
of parsing expression grammars plus good facilities for modular grammars.

The current Rats! generates Java parsers which we can call from Scala, but 
difficulties are created if 
we want to build Scala trees.

Done, at least in a basic fashion.  As a separate project, we now have the 
sbt-rats plugin which lets us include Rats! specs in our sbt projects 
(http://sbt-rats.googlecode.com).  A Java parser is automatically generated.  
sbt-rats also supports some option transformation of the Java to make it easier 
to use Scala actions and positions.
