Roadmap
=======

  * The COPYING file contains a copy of the GPL described above.

  * See INSTALL for installation details. 

  * ChangeLog describes the changes between the versions of the PUMA 
    library.

  * Some documentation is located in the `doc' directory.
  
  * Examples of how to use PUMA can be found in the `examples' 
    directory.

  * `src' and `tools' contain all the stuff to build the library.
  
  * In the `lib' directory you will find the PUMA library after 
    building it.  The corresponding header files will be placed in
    the `include' directory.


Description
===========

PUMA is a library of C++ classes for parsing and manipulating C/C++ 
source code.  It provides different levels of analyzing source code, 
i.e. lexical, syntactical, and semantical analyses.  Additionally, 
PUMA contains its own C preprocessor following the macro language 
understood by the GNU C preprocessor (cpp).  
   The parsers for C and C++ are based on an extensible recursive 
descent parser architecture that can be easily adapted for your own 
needs by inheriting from one of the parsers.  They are oriented on 
the ISO/IEC standards defined in ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E) and ISO/IEC 
14882:1998(E) but also supporting a list of extensions to the C and 
C++ languages.  The information about the source code being analyzed 
is organized in an attributed syntax tree referring to a separate 
structure of semantic information.
   For the purpose of manipulating source code PUMA provides a syntax
based mechanism for searching code structures.  Manipulations on the 
source code can be collected and validated before executing them in a
single transaction.


Limitations
===========

This version of PUMA is distributed under the terms of the GPL.  

There is also a commercial edition of the PUMA library available, which 
may be used to develop commercial/proprietary software.  For pricing and 
availability of the commercial edition, please contact pure-systems GmbH
at contact@pure-systems.com.
