[Moose-dev] Re: Very detailed Moose model ? (at the level of statement)

Hi Nicolas, Of course it can be interesting. Are you hinting towards AST information? Or do you have in mind a more relaxed, but more general model? If it is the former, in Smalltalk the AST is already available :). In other languages you would have to implement it. In projects where PetitParser is being used to import sources, the AST is most likely provided (because for less than it is needed for import). For example, I guess that the Delphi implementation will offer it (right, Stephan? :)). Also, I built a couple of such projects for custom languages and there I have a full AST that is available on demand from the FAMIX model. For other languages, like Java, we would need to serialize this AST from the external parser. It would definitely be a very welcome addition. As for the size of the model, the AST could also be loaded on demand for a restricted amount of entities. For example, suppose that each source file (or source entity) would have an associated AST file. In that case, we could load the AST on demand just for the interesting parts.
