Abstract

The Mutable Class Pattern is an alternative extensible solution to the Visitor pattern for building configurable associations of heterogeneous structures with diverse algorithms. Initially it was introduced in the framework of the Unified Accelerator Libraries. The scope of the Mutable Class however appears to not be limited to the modeling applications due to the optimal combination of several approaches. This paper presents the application of the Mutable Class pattern to the traversal of heterogeneous abstract syntax trees. The application is based on the JastAdd configurable metacompiler construction system.

This paper introduces a pattern for almost compositional functions over recursive data types, and over families of mutually recursive data types. Here "almost compositional" means that for a number of the constructors in the type(s), the result of the ...

Advantages of embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) are that one does not have to implement a separate type system nor an abstraction mechanism, since these are directly borrowed from the host language. Straightforward implementations of embedded ...
