What is KaSCPar

KaSCPar stands for Karlsruhe SystemC Parser Suite. It is a SystemC parser supporting the latest language version with dedicated tokens for SystemC 2.1 keywords. The suite consists of two components for generating either the AST or an elaborated description of the SystemC design, both in XML format for easy usage.

Features

• supports C++ and SystemC 2.1
• based on C++ grammar with dedicated tokens for SystemC keywords
• uses GNU gcc preprocessor
• supports parsing of multiple sources files
• created by JavaCC & JJTree
• generates two output files: the AST and the elaborated SystemC design in XML format

Description

The Karlsruhe SystemC Parser contains two phases. The first phase generates the AST and the second phase constructs the elaborated description of the SystemC design. The tool SC2AST generates only the AST and the tool SC2XML generates both the AST and the elaborated description of the SystemC design. For more information (e.g. SC2XML), please go to the KaSCPar homepage KaSCPar homepage.

SC2AST

The generated AST file contains a token for each C/C++ and SystemC 2.1 language element. Furthermore, the AST file contains some meta information like column number, line number and file name as a reference to the original SystemC file and are saved as attributes of each AST token. The comments of source files are also saved as special token comment in the AST. The parser uses the pre-processor from GNU gcc just to expand user defined macros of the SystemC design.
