[Moose-dev] Re: Development of FAMIX AST meta-model extension

Hi, Tudor, I've completely forgot to write that this is my master's project and I'm doing it under a supervision of Nicolas Anquetil and Anne Etien I want to extend the AST meta-model for other languages (java should be the next one) and I'll add associations between already existing nodes like Invocation and my AST nodes. I've started from Smalltalk because it seams to have an easier structure. Also I think that it will be really interesting to implement some convertors that can transform model of one language into the other one. In the future this can be developed into powerful tool to convert a source between the programing languages. Also we can make some "general imperative languages meta-model" and convert into it models of another languages to improve the ability to analyze the model itself. For example it should be easier to work with the "if" statement nodes when with ifTrue:IfFalse: message expressions. On the other hand AST meta-models can be used to automatically analyze code and find problems like int i = 0; if (i != 0) … but right now I'm thinking of creating a fully functional meta-models and then probably about conversions.
