Best design for generating code from an AST?
- by Sam Washburn
I'm working on a pretty complex DSL that I want to compile down into a few high level languages. The whole process has been a learning experience. The compiler is written in java.
I was wondering if anyone knew a best practice for the design of the code generator portion. I currently have everything parsed into an abstract syntax tree.
I was thinking of using a template system, but I haven't researched that direction too far yet as I would like to hear some wisdom first from stack overflow.
Thanks!
