WELCOME TO MEMPHIS, a C/C++ extension for compiler writers. Memphis adds grammatical types and tree pattern matching as found in functional languages and modern compiler construction tools. Experience has shown that these concepts provide a powerful framework for abstract syntax construction and tree processing. Memphis acts as a precompiler that translates domain declarations and match statements into C++ code and copies original C/C++ constructs directly into the target program. Take a look at the file examples/trees/prog.m for a first example introducing domain declarations and match statements. INSTALLATION To install the Memphis precompiler go to directory memphis and type build You also need a small library function that has to be linked to your Memphis programs. To provide this go to directory mrts and type build USAGE To test your installation go to directory examples/trees and type build DOCUMENTATION The directory doc contains the following documents : primer.ps ``Memphis C/C++, A Language for Compiler Writers'' language.ps ``Memphis Language Reference Manual'' usage.ps ``Memphis User Manual'' EXAMPLES The directory examples provides some small examples. See the file README in that directory. LICENSE Memphis is provided at no charge for personal usage, educational purposes, and the development of non-commercial software. See the file LICENSE for the conditions. SUPPORT Please send questions and bug reports to friwi@first.fraunhofer.de
