Abstract

An extractor is a program which processes source code and outputs facts about the code in a software exchange format (SEF). An SEF can be further specified by a schema, analogous to a schema for a data base. This paper explains how two such schemas can be combined into a union schema as the basis for creating an extractor. We describe the CPPX extractor, which transforms a schema designed as the internals of a compiler (GCC) to a schema designed for software exchange (Datrix). CPPX performs this transformation as a pipelined sequence of sub-transformations. At each stage in the pipeline, the intermediate data conforms to the union of the two schemas.

Towards a Standard Schema for C/C++
WCRE '01: Proceedings of the Eighth Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE'01)

Developing a standard schema at the abstract syntax tree level for C/C++ to be used by reverse engineering and reengineering tools is a complex and difficult problem. In this paper, we present a catalogue of issues that need to be considered in order to ...
Data Exchange with the Columbus Schema for C++
CSMR '02: Proceedings of the Sixth European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering

To successfully carry out a software maintenance or reengineering task, a suitably assembled set of tools is required, which interoperate seaminglessly. To achieve this goal, an exchange format is needed that can be used to represent the facts extracted ...

XML has become the standard format for representing structured and semi-structured data on the Web. To describe the structure and content of XML data, several XML schema languages have been proposed. Although being very useful for validating XML ...
