Overview¶

Static View¶

Like other compilers, cl-rosetta is structured into

• A front end that (source:code/cl-rosetta/trunk/src/frontend)
  • Parses data definition/schema languages like
    • textual Google protocol buffer descriptor syntax (source:code/cl-rosetta-protobuf/trunk/src/frontend)
    • Binary Google protocol buffer descriptors
    • ROS msgs (source:code/cl-rosetta-ros/trunk/src/frontend)
    • RelaxNG (source:code/cl-rosetta-xml/trunk/src/frontend)
  • Parses component descriptions like ROS manifest files
• A middle end (with associated intermediate representation) (source:code/cl-rosetta/trunk/src/model) that
  • Represents data types
  • Represents components
  • Provides limited indexing and relationship modeling for these objects
• A back end that (source:code/cl-rosetta/trunk/src/backend)
  • Emits Common Lisp data-holder classes, serializers and deserializers for combinations of
    • Data type definitions
    • Serialization mechanisms
  • Emits code in other programming languages for combinations of
    • Data type definitions
    • Serialization mechanisms
  • Emits data definitions/schemas
  • Emits visualizations
