MonoBURG

Overview

MonoBURG is a tree-rewriting system originating from Mono. It is used as a code-generator generator that relies on bottom-up tree parsing; basically, !MonoBURG generates a tree parser that executes some instructions, generally code output, when a defined tree pattern is matched.

In the Tiger.WebHome Tiger project, !MonoBURG is used to generate a code producer from the lowest level of representation of the source code to assembly.

!MonoBURG has been extended to support namespace use, C++ references, and to add other facilities.

!MonoBURG was part of the Mono Project. This version has been extended by several people from LRDE for the needs of the Tiger project.
