[comp.lang.idl] C to IDL...

daver@boa.gatech.edu (David Rosenbaum) (11/16/90)

I'm investigating the possibility of using IDL to assist in a project
which involves the manipulation of abstract syntax trees.  The idea is
to translate the target language, C for example, into an abstract
syntax tree (represented in IDL) and use the facilities of IDL to help
in manipulating the result.  So my question is: is there anything out
there which can translate C or some other language into some kind of
syntax tree in IDL?

If this is a stupid question, please feel free to email the reason, as
it would help me in my overall evaluation of what I'm trying to do.

Thanks,
