MonoBURG

---++ Overview

MonoBURG is a tree-rewriting system originating from [[1][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.

---++ Directions

Future main modifications will be:

  * The postponing of output emission to allow not `on-the-fly'
    modification,
  * Provide different `%' directives,
  * Revamp the scanner.
