This project is based on a fork of the Purdue Compiler Construction Toolset (PCCTS 1.33), first developed by Terence Parr.

pccts is made of various programs :

• antlr
• dlg
• sorcerer (not build by default)

For more details on this programs, see "Documentation section".

1. Clone this repository :

    $ git clone https://github.com/thaddeus002/pccts.git
   

2. Go to the main pccts directory :

    $ cd pccts
   

3. Build the tools :

    $ make
   

4. install :

5. To get an up-to-date list of program options execute the program with no command line options. To get up-to-date documentation read CHANGES_FROM_133*.txt and KNOWN_PROBLEMS.txt

6. If you wish to create a library from elements of pccts/h:

   If the first letter of the filename is lowercase (uppercase) it is related to the code generated using the pccts C mode (C++ mode). Some of the .c and .cpp files in the h directory are not meant to be placed in a library and will not compile because they are meant to be #include in pccts generated files which are grammar specific.

   For C++ users place the following elements in the library:

   • AParser.cpp
   • ASTBase.cpp
   • ATokenBuffer.cpp
   • BufFileInput.cpp (optional)
   • DLexerBase.cpp
   • PCCTSAST.cpp
   • SList.cpp

pccts is under public domain. See LICENSE.
