GSOC GNU Automake project

[Vishal Gupta]

Hi,
I am interested in working on the project to Parse Makefile.am using an
Abstract Syntax Tree. Some queries related to the project are :-
1) In which language is the lexer and parser expected to be written and
using which tools.
2) Where to put my draft proposal for review so that it can be improved.

An early reply is awaited.

Thanks and regards,
Vishal Gupta

It should be written directly in Perl like the rest of Automake.

2) Where to put my draft proposal for review so that it can be improved.

You can host it on the Web as HTML or PDF, or simply send it as plain
text by Email to this Mailing List.

There is another student applying for this projet. You can take a look
at the mailing-list archives [1] for past discussion regarding the
subject.

Thanks for your interest.

Please check my draft and suggest improvement.

This is a good first draft.

A few comments/suggestions:

- You can precise what University curriculum you are currently
following.

- You can precise what are your personnal motivation for participating
in the GSoC in general and candidating for this specific project.

- I would be interested in knowing if you have previous experiences with
any Free Software project even if this is minor contributions.

- Regarding the COOL compiler, some pointers would be welcome.

- Regarding the RDBMS project is that a assignment or a preexisiting
project you got involved in? It would be interesting if you could
precise the specific parts you have been working on and what was
already done. Is there any pointer to check what the project is
about?

- Additionally You can tell us about your intuition regarding what kind
of nodes the AST would probably contain.

Feel free to continue expanding on your plan by precising the functional
and non-functional requirements and telling us how you imagine you would
specifically tackle those.

If you have questions regarding my comments or about more general one
regarding the project itself, don't hesitate.

Thanks for your proposal.
