Doug,
Could you say a few words about what needs to be done to fit a
general grammar (say in ANTLR) into the DOM infrastructure. For
example, will the C# IAST nodes be the same as or only similar to the
C nodes?
I'm asking because LANL needs to modify the Photran parser (actually
only the scanner) to be able to use the CDT preprocessor code as many
Fortran codes use the C preprocessor. I'm just wondering what could
be done to bring the entire Photran parsing into the DOM umbrella
and what it would gain. Would it help in refactoring, for example.
I have someone who might like to help with this project but I'd like
to get some idea of its scope.
Cheers,
Craig
