Re: [abc-dev] Pass scheduling

Hi Wouter.

Which passes are you referring to? The polyglot passes that
analyze/rewrite the AST? If so please note that any new extensions to
abc will be based on JastAdd (see packages abc.ja.*) and that those
extensions don't really have the notion of passes any more. (There are
still some coarse passes like jimplification etc. but not very many.)

In general I don't think that there was much of a plan for
formalization, exactly for the reason that we switched to JastAdd.

Hope that helps.

Eric
