Open Parser API Feature Sheet

SNiFF+'s open parser API enables developers to write their own parsers for languages of interest to them, creating the first language-independent development environment.

This marks the first time SNiFF+ supports the ability to edit and manage files of different languages in a single project.

FEATURES

Semantic action functions, which transparently store information about a semantic construct and its relationships to others in SNiFF+'s symbol table.
Functions which transparently manage communications with SNiFF+.
Utility functions to initialize parser data structures and output messages and error conditions.
Supports cross referencing of functions.
Supports the simultaneous use of multiple parsers.

BENEFITS

The addition of an open parser interface makes SNiFF+ the first development environment to serve more than one parser at the same time.
Developers can edit and manage files of different languages within one project.
Supports all object-oriented languages with concepts similar to C++, extensions to C++ like IDL, and 4GL languages like TCL, PERL or python.

USES

The terminology used by the functions is based on C/C++, but the functions can be used to write a parser for any language implementing constructs compatible to those in C/C++.
Developers can reengineer projects where existing code is analyzed with SNiFF+ and simultaneously implemented in a new language.
SNiFF+ can be used for projects written in the above mentioned languages.
