| Hello altogether.
|
| On http://bodden.de/publications you will find two new papers about
| employing ABC in order to implement so-called "concern specific
| languages".
|
| What those are supposed to be is described in the theoretical paper
| "Concern specific languages and their implementation with ABC", which
| hopefully will be accepted for the SPLAT workshop accompanying the
| AOSD 05 conference.
|
| The practitioners' paper "Implementing concern-specific languages
| with ABC" has not such a similar title by accident: It actually tells
| the same story but from an implementor's point of view. It is meant
| as a guide for developers who are new to ABC and want to implement
| concern specific languages with ABC. In my eyes it goes somewhat more
| into detail than the paper "An extensible AspectJ compiler" when it
| comes to the actual implementation, which might be helpful sometimes.
| Additionally I describe how Java 5 annotations can be used to specify
| such concern specific languages, how annotations can be extracted and
| how aspects can be generated out of them and stuck into the
| compilation process. Also I tried to reflect on the effort I had to
| overcome while using ABC and give some advice on possible
| improvements. Here I should probably mention, that implementing
| concern specific languages usually means performing AST rewrites,
| reducing the code to AspectJ code, so one uses the frontend only.
| Thus I do not comment on, nor evaluate any backend functionality.
|
| However, it would be great if you had any comments about this work.
| At the latest I might see you at AOSD 05 where I will probably attend
| your tutorial.
|
| Also if you would like to link the works from your ABC website, feel
| free to do so.
|
| Cheers,
| Eric
