A “short list” of embedded systems

CS269: HW/SW Engineering of Embedded Systems, Winter02

Design criteria

•Code reuse

–Based on the Java parser of Ptolemy II (well, sort of…)

–

•Reduce effort to develop back-end modules

–APIs to inspect the ASTs

–A generic traversal mechanism: Visitor design pattern

–An annotation mechanism: Properties

–

•Support incremental compilation (to be implemented)

–Transparent from the point of view of the user

–Reuse ASTs from previous compilations

–Generate “skeletons” Meta-model files
