The Airia compiler

Download

Airia-0.0.0-461.7z

Usage

Since the Airia compiler is implemented as an add-on of the AspectBench compiler (abc), please set up abc (with JastAdd) first. Then create a file named "ant.settings" on a directory where Airia's build.xml exists and describe a path to a directory of abc (JastAdd):

abc-ja.loc=/path/to/abc-ja/directory

To run Airia-enabled abc, run ant against the build.xml like:

$ ant run -Dargs=/* Arguments passed to abc */

To know parameters of abc, please refer its help by running:

$ ant run -Dargs="-help"

Known issues

Error recovery have not been implemented yet. The compiler throws exception if a compilation (syntax or type) error is found. I think the error recovery can be implemented more modularly if it is implemented by using exception. However our implementation is incomplete.
Some constructs such as named pointcuts have not been implemented.
