Program Generator

This program parses a DSL describing an L-System, and generates benchmarks from this specification.

Dependencies

The only dependency is a C++ compiler. Here are some suggestions:

Compiler	Link
clang	llvm.org
gcc	gnu.org

If you wish to use something other than clang++, please alter the CC variable of the Makefile.

Compiling

Compilation example:

make

Running

Run the binary output with a input and output file as parameter.

Calls to the Program Generator must be done in the following format:

./main <Number of iterations> <Production Rules File> <Seed String File> <Output Folder> <Variable Type>

The available variables types are in the shared/varTypes.h file.

Examples

We provide examples for inputs in the examples folder. An example of execution would be:

./main 3 production_rule_8.txt seed_string.txt output array

Production Rules File

The production rules file should have production rules of the format:

<LHS> = <Production>;

You may repeat these as many times as you wish for each production rule.

Example:

A = insert A remove;
B = A B;

Seed String File

The Seed String File should contain only Valid Tokens. Other than that, these tokens can be written as the user wishes.

Example:

IF(LOOP(CALL(B)),A)
