It also uses the + Makefile provided by autoxt and Transformers' Makefile. The configure + script tries to guess the correct value for PKG_CONFIG_PATH if it is + not provided by looking for common locations where Stratego/XT is + installed by Nix. Many GNU make extensions are used by the Makefiles. + Parallel builds work and are encouraged. + + o Creating tools with XTC + ----------------------- + XRM uses XTC-registered components. For the documentation of XTC see + the chapters 28 and 29 of the Stratego/XT manual + (http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/stratego/strategoxt-manual-unstable-latest/manual/…, + http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/stratego/strategoxt-manual-unstable-latest/manual/…). + Basically, XTC components are simply applications or files which are + registered by a program called `xtc'. This program creates a file where + registered components are listed (the repository). When a component is + registered in the repository, its name, version and path are saved. + This is useful so that you can develop tiny applications and call them + one after the other in a pipeline. Calling them from Stratego is made + easy because the Stratego programs know where the XTC repository is and + it can query that repository to find the auxiliary tools it needs. For + instance one could register ls, grep and wc in an XTC repository. Then + one could invoke them from a Stratego program one after the other in + order to simulate the command `ls -l | grep rwx | wc -l` for instance. + Note that XTC repositories are in fact ATerms and you can display them + with pp-aterm. + For instance this is used by parsers which need to invoke sglr with the + correct parse table in argument. The parse table is generated somewhere + and is registered in the XTC repository. The parser looks up the + location of the parse table through the repository and then invoke sglr + with the right path to the parse table. + However, this has a disadvantage: Invoking XTC components is quite + inefficient. This is because when you do this, the current term is + saved in a temporary file under /tmp. When the current term is quite + large this can produce files from several hundred mega-bytes up to + several giga-bytes. Then the XTC component you invoked is called with + that temporary file as input (-i) and another new temporary file as + output (-o). Once it has finished, the current processes reloads its + current term from the temporary file where the XTC component sent its + output. This leads to many i/o operations on disk which tend to be + quite slow. That's why XRM tries to avoid to use XTC for external + processes as much as possible. But since we still want to be modular, + instead of using XTC components, we use external libraries. At this + time XRM doesn't use libraries because it was easier to import the + libraries required than to export them through libraries which would + then be linked with the binary. However this makes the compilation time + longer. We should really consider exporting common things in external + libraries. + + The --help and --about options are handled using tool-doc + (https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/StrategoXT/strategoxt/trunk/stratego-regul…). + The pretty-printers directly include the strategies they need (the + pretty-printing rules are written in Stratego under src/lib/<lang>/pp). + This enables them to be stand-alone, they can pretty-print without + using intermediate files. They also use libstratego-gpp which is quite + recent. This enables them to use abox-to-text without to call an + external XTC component and go through intermediate temporary files. # xrm-front's pipeline -------------------- - // FIXME + In this section we will review the pipeline of xrm-front. We will explain + the different passes of the pipeline, how the dynamic rules are used and + how the transformations are performed. + + Everything begins in src/str/xrm-front.str. The first thing performed by + xrm-front is to check whether the options it was invoked with are + consistent. For instance, if the user invokes xrm-front with the flags -b + (request output in binary ATerm format) and -P (request output in + pretty-printed ATerm format) the switch -P is ignored and a warning is + issued. In former version of xrm-front, there were more conflicting options. + + Then xrm-front parses its input files with the correct parser. When the + switch -p (or --pctl) is provided, XRM must parse XPCTL source code whereas + it parses XRM source code by default. The parsing is performed by an + external XTC component. It would be useful to use library-based parser + instead to improve performances. Then the strategy xrm-front-pipeline is + invoked. + + This where the transformations begin. The real pipeline can be found in + src/str/xrm-to-prism.str. + + The first pass removes the XRM sugar. This is a simple innermost traversal + where basic transformations rules are applied to remove what is merely + simple syntactic sugar. We also use this pass to catch calls to the XRM + builtin rand in property files (which is not allowed). In XRM files, these + calls are simply replaced by a variable which will be the random variable. + At this time each random variable is controlled by a separate module + generated by xrm-front. This module is stored in a DR named RandGenModules. + + The second pass collects static const declarations, formula (and + parameterized) declarations. For property files, the formulas are removed + when they are collected (because they are not allowed in standard property + files). Parameterized formulas are always removed once they are collected + because they do not exist in the base languages. These declarations are + collected in dynamic rules as follows: + * ExpandStaticConsts: id -> value + * ExpandFormulas: id -> value + * ExpandPFormulas: PFormulaCall(name, a*) -> e + this DR rewrites a call to the parameterized formula `name' (invoked + with the arguments `a*') to `e' which is the inlined version of the + formula `name' with its formal parameters replaced by the parameters + provided in `a*'. + + The third pass of xrm-front is to check that meta-vars are used correctly. + The whole code is traversed using a hand-crafted traversal that collects + the declarations of meta-vars (using the appropriate scopes). For instance, + when the traversal enters a for loop, it registers the meta-var used to + iterate in the loop in a scoped DR. Several things must be evaluable down + to simple integers at compile time (such as array subscripts or the + `from' or `to' of a for loop for instance. Indeed if you can't evaluate + the latter at compile time, how can you unroll the loop if you don't know + how many iterations it has to go through?). Once we know what are the + meta-vars (as well as static consts, formulas etc.), we can easily check + whether an expression is evaluable as a literal value at compile time. If + the expression contains only literals and identifiers known to be evaluable + at compile time (such as static consts and meta-vars for instance) then the + expression itself is evaluable at compile time. + + Then an important pass starts: the meta-code is evaluated (leading to code + generation). Once again, this pass uses a hand-made traversal and features: + evaluation of static ifs, lazy evaluation of operator `&' and operator `|' + (so that the user can rely on them to prevent invalid code from being + evaluated, eg: x > 0 && a[x] to prevent an invalid array access). For loops + are unrolled. Calls to parameterized are inlined. When a call to a + parameterized formula is inlined, we must re-start the pass on the code + inlined. + + The fifth pass consists of removal of array declarations, evaluation of + calls to the XRM builtin static_rand and collection of non-array local + variable declarations. This is 3 different things but they + are combined together to reduce the number of traversals. Array + declarations are rewritten as declarations of lists of variables. xrm-front + ensures that array declarations are not overlapping with each other. + Each array declaration is recorded in the DR DeclaredArrays which maps an + Identifier(idf) -> aa-list where `aa-list' is the list of array subscript + declared for that array. When an array is declared in multiple parts, each + part is added in the same entry of DeclaredArrays (we first fetch the parts + previously declared, check that they don't overlap with the parts being + declared, and if they don't, we concatenate them and save them back in the + DR). This part of the code might be a bit hard to read because an abstract + factory is used to build declaration lists resulting of array declarations + and this is a bit hard to follow. Hopefully the numerous comments in the + file will help the reader to understand how the rewriting is performed. + Non-array declarations are also collected in a DR named DeclaredIdentifers + which maps an identifier to some information about it (such as its type, + its definition range, its initial value). These information are gathered + for the type-checking pass. Note that type information of variables + declared in arrays are not yet gathered. + + So now, array declarations have been rewritten as declaration lists. This + introduces several unwanted nested lists in the AST which are then removed + using `flatten-list'. + + Then comes the type-checking pass. At this time, this pass is quite basic + and only checks that array subscripts do not lead to out of bound array + accesses. We can easily do this thanks to the DR DeclaredArrays which maps + an identifier to the dimensions declared for that array. The pass also + ensures that all array accesses are made on declared arrays. + + Then, we paste the module generated by the calls to the rand builtin + (which were saved in the DR RandGenModules) at the end of the file. + + Now we can remove all array accesses. This is done by flattening them, eg + x[1][2][3] is rewritten as x_1_2_3. For property files, we also use this + pass to expand all non-parameterized formulas since their expansions wasn't + forced by any previous pass. We must force the expansion of + non-parameterized formulas in property files because they are not allowed + in the base language. + + In the end, we can now re-order the content of the modules. Indeed, in XRM + we allow the declarations and commands to be freely intertwined whereas in + PRISM declarations must always come before the commands. This is done + using a scoped DR. We traverse all the Modules and collect declarations and + commands in DRs (respectively CommandList and DeclarationList).
