Dear Madhavapeddy:

I used FrontC because I hope the parsing result w.r.t a C source code is represented in OCaml code.

I installed CIT and linked my main program with the library released in CIL.

My main program (main.ml) now is:

  open Frontc
  (* -------------------------------------- Test case for sample1.wh --------------------------------------*)
  let parse_result = Frontc.parse "/home/sand/zhuping/sample1.c"; 

The main program is successfully compiled without linking by executing: ocamlc -c -I /home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX  main.ml

But an error occurs when I linked the related object codes together:  

ocamlc -o main -I /home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX/ pretty.cmo trace.cmo errormsg.cmo cabs.cmo cabsvisit.cmo escape.cmo cprint.cmo patch.cmo frontc.cmo main.cmo

"Error while linking /home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX/patch.cmo: Reference to undefined global 'Unix' "

I looked into the patch.ml code and found this piece of code where 'Unix' is referenced:
let gettime () : float = (Unix.times ()).Unix.tms_utime


Can anybody help me to solve this problem? 

Thank you very much for your help:)

Re: [Caml-list] Using Frontc

[Zhu Ping]

I have successfully compiled my main program by executing the following two 
commands sequentially:
$ ocamlc -c -I /home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX  main.ml
$ ocamlc -o main -custom /home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX/perfcount.o 
/usr/lib/ocaml/unix.cma /usr/lib/ocaml/str.cma -I 
/home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX/ pretty.cmo trace.cmo errormsg.cmo cabs.cmo 
cabsvisit.cmo escape.cmo cprint.cmo patch.cmo stats.cmo lexerhack.cmo 
machdep.cmo clexer.cmo cparser.cmo inthash.cmo util.cmo clist.cmo 
cilversion.cmo alpha.cmo cil.cmo cilutil.cmo cabs2cil.cmo frontc.cmo 
main.cmo

But you can't see anything by just typing "./main"



To print the value of "parse_result" defined in my main.ml, I first build my 
toplevel interpretator by executing:
$ ocamlmktop -o mytoplevel -custom /home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX/perfcount.o 
/usr/lib/ocaml/unix.cma /usr/lib/ocaml/str.cma -I 
/home/sand/cil/obj/x86_LINUX/ pretty.cmo trace.cmo errormsg.cmo cabs.cmo 
cabsvisit.cmo escape.cmo cprint.cmo patch.cmo stats.cmo lexerhack.cmo 
machdep.cmo clexer.cmo cparser.cmo inthash.cmo util.cmo clist.cmo 
cilversion.cmo alpha.cmo cil.cmo cilutil.cmo cabs2cil.cmo frontc.cmo 
main.cmo

Then in this new toplevel the value of "parse_result" is propoerly displayed

You can refer to the book "Developing Applications With Objective Caml" 
(page 322) to know more details about building a new toplevel interpretator 
which can use an external C function in the toplevel interactive loop.


The pity now is the CIL format seems too complicated for me. I like the data 
structure defined in an earlier version of FrontC 
(http://casse.hugues.free.fr/projects/frontc.html) better:). However I still 
have problems in compiling FrontC sources downloaded from the site 
http://casse.hugues.free.fr/projects/frontc.html. Did anyone successfully 
install FrontC in Linux/Unix?



Anyway, thank you all for your help:)

FrontC is available in GODI, http://godi.ocaml-programming.de. This is
probably the simplest way to install it. Furthermore, this also simplifies
using libraries, as GODI supports findlib for all libraries, i.e. you just
say

ocamlfind ocamlc -package frontc -c your_module.ml

and get rid of the .cma nightmare.

Re: [Caml-list] Using Frontc

[Zhu Ping]

Dear Gerd Stolpmann

Thank you very much for recommending GODI. I have successfully installed
GODI, compiled and linked my code with the FrontC library.

My main program *main.ml* is as following:
open Frontc
let parse_result = Frontc.parse_file "/home/dreamer/code/sample1.c" stdout;;

The sample C code sample1.c is:
int main(int base, int expon)
{
int accum = 1;
while (expon > 0) {
accum = base * accum;
expon = expon - 1;
}
return(accum);
}


I performed the compilation and linking by executing the following two
commands:
ocamlc -c -I /opt/godi/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/FrontC main.ml
ocamlc -o main /opt/godi/lib/ocaml/std-lib/unix.cma -I
/opt/godi/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/FrontC frontc.cma main.cmo

To display the parsing result explicitly I built my toplevel:
ocamlmktop -o mytoplevel /opt/godi/lib/ocaml/std-lib/unix.cma -I
/opt/godi/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/FrontC frontc.cma
./mytoplevel
#directory "/home/dreamer/code/";;
#directory "/opt/godi/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/FrontC/";;
#use "main.ml";;

The output is:

/home/dreamer/code/sample1.c[1] Invalid symbol: int main(int base, int
expon)
/home/dreamer/code/sample1.c[2] Invalid symbol: {
/home/dreamer/code/sample1.c[3] Invalid symbol: int accum = 1;

/home/dreamer/code/sample1.c[8] Invalid symbol: return(accum);

val parse_result : Frontc.parsing_result =

[], Cabs.NOTHING)),
([Cabs.DECDEF

[("accum", Cabs.INT (Cabs.NO_SIZE, Cabs.NO_SIGN), [],
Cabs.CONSTANT (Cabs.CONST_INT "1"))])],
Cabs.SEQUENCE
(Cabs.WHILE
(Cabs.BINARY (Cabs.GT, Cabs.VARIABLE "expon",
Cabs.CONSTANT (Cabs.CONST_INT "0")),
Cabs.BLOCK

Cabs.BINARY (Cabs.MUL, Cabs.VARIABLE "base",
Cabs.VARIABLE "accum"))),
Cabs.COMPUTATION

Cabs.BINARY (Cabs.SUB, Cabs.VARIABLE "expon",
Cabs.CONSTANT (Cabs.CONST_INT "1"))))))),
Cabs.RETURN (Cabs.VARIABLE "accum"))))]


Why the parsing result is correct in the presence of lexing errors?

Thank you very much for your help:)

Spurious CR by any chance? Only one error per line here.
Weird though, it should handle it.

Anyhow the reason it works is simple enough: the parser
is called 'initial' and here is the rule in question:
|    _        {E.parse_error
      "Invalid symbol"
     (Lexing.lexeme_start lexbuf)
    (Lexing.lexeme_end lexbuf);
   initial lexbuf}


so you can see it emits a diagnostic .. and then continues
by recursively calling itself again .. ignoring the error.

Using Frontc

[Zhu Ping]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1400 bytes --]

Dear OCaml users:

  I'm using Frontc, which is one of the libraries released in CDK, to parse C source code.

  I downloded the complete binaries for Linux i386 libc6 from http://pauillac.inria.fr/cdk/binaries/binaries-3.03/gz/cdk-3.03.tar.gz and installed it on a Linux server by following the installation instructions.

  The following code (mail.ml) is the main ocaml program that use Frontc to parse a sample code written in C language.


  open Frontc
  (* -------------------------------------- Test case for sample1.c --------------------------------------*)
  let parse_result = Frontc.parse_file "/home/sand/zhuping/sample1.c" error_channel; 


  I compiled the maim.ml using this command:  ocamlopt -I /usr/local/lib/cdk-3.03/lib/ocaml-3.03/ main.ml
  
  But some error returns: /usr/local/lib/cdk-3.03/lib/ocaml-3.03/pervasives.cmi is not a compiled interface

  All the Frontc codes located under the directory /usr/local/lib/cdk-3.03/lib/ocaml-3.03/ are compiled codes: 
    frontc.a
    frontc.cma
    frontc.cmi
    frontc.cmx
    frontc.cmxa
    clexer.cmi
    clexer.cmx
    cparser.cmi
    cparser.cmx
    cabs.cmi
    cabs.cmx
    cprint.cmi
    cprint.cmx

There are no source implementation/interface files with respect to the corresponding files listed above.

  Can anybody help to to solve this problem? Thank you very much for your help:)

You haven't said if you must get FrontC to work, or can use any C
parser.  If you dont mind using another package, CIL from Berkeley
is written in OCaml and is actively developed (and very very good).

You can find more details at http://manju.cs.berkeley.edu/cil/
