ROSE_ProgramTransformationGroup

ROSE Program Transformations

Synopsis

Declared in <src/docs/mrdocs/modules/program_transformation.h>

struct ROSE_ProgramTransformationGroup;

Description

Location of numerous program transformations that operate on the AST and may be called within the midend.

TODO: Add constant folding since we currently unfold all folded expressions in the code generation phase. This would be something that could be verified as well since the legacy frontend has also computed the constant folded result and we have stored that explicitly as well as the expression tree from which it was folded. The proposed constant folding would also work on AST fragments constructed explicitly in ROSE from lower level mechanisms.

TODO: The ROSE source code might be easier to organize if we have an include directory just for the included files from the transformations. Then use separate directories for the implementations (we want to always separate the implementation if possible from the header file and place it in a separate file). This would make it easier to add transformations and make the maintenance of the development tree a bit easier. As it is each new directory forces a new include path to be specified and a new library target to be added in the CMake build.

TODO: Document the Outliner (required for the generated documentation).
