http://scf.usc.edu/~peterchd/101p

Source

101p.tar.gz

Compiling

Issue make -k at the command prompt.

Executing

To test a successful build, run:

 ./main < test 

Algorithm

The execution path from source to browser traces through:

driver -> lexer -> parser -> translator -> classifier -> serializer -> migrator -> client

and breaks down followingly:

driver

Receives input from stdin.

lexer

Processes source into series of tokens.

parser

Interprets tokens based on class definitions.

translator

Processes templates according to parsed directives.

classifier

Processes intermediary files according to templates.

serializer

Commits intermediary files to disk.

migrator

Converts intermediary files into a suitable format.

client

Displays text plus objects back to the browser.
