Tools for Compiler Construction
Several tools are available for modern compiler construction:
- XText a system for building DSLs.
- JastAdd a attribute grammar system with extensions that make it suitable for dataflow analysis.
- The Checker Framework, which enhances Java's type system to allow new pluggable type checkers to be developed.
