RTG2SIG(1)

NAME
rtg2sig - generates a Stratego signature from a regular tree grammar (RTG)

SYNOPSIS

rtg2sig [--module name] [-i file | --input file] [-o file | --output file] [-b] [-S | --silent] [--verbose level] [-k level | --keep level] [-h | -? | --help] [--about] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

The rtg2sig utility is used to generates a Stratego signature from a regular tree grammar.

OPTIONS

Module Options

--module name
    Specifies that the module name of the resulting Stratego file should be name. If --module is not given, the output file name is used. If that is not known, the input file name is used.

Common Input/Output Options

-i file
    The input term given by the file name file.

    In the absence of the -i option, input will be read from stdin.

-o file
    The output will be written to the file given by the file name file.

    In the absence of the -o option, output will be written to stdout.

-b  The output will be written in the binary (BAF) ATerm format.

    ATerms in the BAF format require a lot less space than ones in the TAF format, but the Java ATerm library does not currently support baf ATerms. ATerms in the baf format is the preferred format of exchange between Stratego tools.

Common Debugging Options

--about
    See --version.

-h, -?, --help
    Display usage information.

--keep int
    Keep intermediate results produced by the internal stages in the pretty-printing process. This is only useful for debugging. A high value of int indicates increased eagerness for keeping intermediate results.

    Default setting is 0, indicating that no intermediates will be kept.

-S, --silent
    Silent execution. Same as --verbose 0.

--verbose int
    Set verbosity level to numerical value int. The higher the number, the more information about pp-aterm's inner workings are printed.

    Alternatively, int can be set to either of the following verbosity levels, given in increasing order of verbosity: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug, vomit.

--version
    Displays the tool name and version.

EXAMPLE

Consider the regular tree grammar given below (the exciting part about how we created this from an SDF definition can be gleaned from the example for sdf2rtg):

regular tree grammar
  start Exp
  productions
    Exp      -> Minus(Exp,Exp)
    Exp      -> Plus(Exp,Exp)
    Exp      -> Mod(Exp,Exp)
    Exp      -> Div(Exp,Exp)
    Exp      -> Mul(Exp,Exp)
    Exp      -> Int(IntConst)
    Exp      -> Var(Id)
    IntConst -> <string>
    Id       -> <string>

Provided that this this regular tree grammar is stored in the file Exp.rtg, it can be converted into a Stratego signature using rtg2sig, as follows:

$ rtg2sig -i Exp.rtg -o Exp.str

The resulting Stratego signature given below may be used directly by your Stratego programs by importing the Exp module.

module Exp

signature
  constructors
    Minus : Exp * Exp -> Exp
    Plus  : Exp * Exp -> Exp
    Mod   : Exp * Exp -> Exp
    Div   : Exp * Exp -> Exp
    Mul   : Exp * Exp -> Exp
    Int   : IntConst -> Exp
    Var   : Id -> Exp
          : String -> IntConst
          : String -> Id
