ParseTools is both a C extension library to the script language tcl
and a script library written in tcl itself. It provides:
- Commands to build, query and manipulate abstract syntax trees.
- A command lifting the tokenization of scripts into the script
level itself. This part resides in the C extension and makes use
of the parsing functionality as exported by the tcl core through
its stub table.
- Commands to convert syntax trees into other representations
(nested lists, XML).
- Commands to convert scripts into syntax trees (with tokens as
intermediate step) and to transform them in basic ways (redundancy
removal, deeper parsing of bracket commands, enhancing the
structure of the tree, ...).
