Dear TTCN-3 developer,
great care has been taken to create a parser that reflects the TTCN-3
standard correctly and that produces abstract syntax trees (ASTs) which
can be evaluated easily.
But no software program is error-free! Hence,
WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
to make this parser as good as possible. If you run the TTCN-3 parser,
we would like you to check the following issues:
- Does the TTCN-3 parser reject a correct TTCN-3 module?
- Does the tree parser (i.e. the AST analyzer) reject some AST?
- Does the TTCN-3 parser produce incorrect ASTs,
e.g. does it take a 'GetReplyStatement' for a 'ReceiveStatement'?
- Are line and column information erroneous?
- Do the ASTs contain superfluous nodes, i.e. nodes that blow up
the tree unnecessarily?
- Do the ASTs lack some nodes that you would like to see?
- Or would you like to have some nodes arranged in a different way?
If you feel like the parser behaves inadequately, please send a short email
to 'schmitt@itm.mu-luebeck.de'. If possible, please also send us a TTCN-3
example that illustrates the deficiency.
Well, that's all we are asking for...
IT'S NOT TOO MUCH FOR A FREE TTCN-3 PARSER, IS IT?
Thanks in advance!
Michael Schmitt, Roman Koch, Jens Grabowski
