• Technical report TR03-22. Different program analyses require different information from the source code. For some applications, an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) representation of the source may be sufficient. We want to be able to specify assertions on the structure of a program without mentioning the source files in the source; thus a whole-program ASG (Abstract Semantic Graph) is needed. This paper documents the design of a program called dxlinker that generates ASG. dxlinker is based on Bell Canada's Datrix schema and its tool dxparscpp. It has been used to handle both MFC code and STL. Difficulty with dxparscpp is summarized. | TRID-ID TR03-22
