Code worker – presentation<\/h1>\n

CodeWorker is a versatile Open Source (GNU Lesser General Public License) parsing tool and a source code generator devoted to generative programming and is used by many companies and online casinos<\/a>\u00a0worldwide. Generative programming is a software engineering approach interested in automating the production of reusable, tailor-made, adaptable and reliable IT systems.<\/p>\n

In layman’s terms, CodeWorker lets you generate code by parsing existing languages, or by creating and parsing your own language. Once a language file has been parsed, CodeWorker provides several techniques for generating code.<\/p>\n

The tool’s scripting language drives the parsing and source code generation process. The scripting language syntax is derived from the C family of languages, making it familiar to most programmers. The template syntax is like JSP, ASP, or Velocity. It has variations for parsing, code generation, or procedural programming, giving the developer a number of options for organizing CodeWorker projects.<\/p>\n

It is also possible to integrate the CodeWorker’s features about parsing and code generation into C++, Java and .NET applications:<\/p>\n

Integration in eclipse<\/h2>\n

CodeWorker provides a scripting language adapted both to the description of language grammars and to the writing of code generation templates. Unfortunately, scripts are arduous to read without syntax coloring.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, there now exists an plugin (click on the image to download it). The plugin provides an editor for each kind of script, with syntax highlighting. An informational tooltip appears when the cursor moves on built-in functions. The reference manual is completely integrated in the Help Contents<\/strong> menu topic. A tutorial is also accessible from the same location.<\/p>\n

Future developments are coming, relative to launching a code generation project from the IDE, instead of just running the command line in a shell.<\/p>\n

the extended-BNF notation is declarative, and is a derivative of BNF (the Backus-Naur Form defines the grammar of a language) extended with regular expressions, predefined non-terminals and useful directives. Something close to javacc or to ANTLR in the JAVA world except a separate parser class is not necessary with CodeWorker. This means that parsing scripts can be tested without having to compile a separate parser class.<\/p>\n

While parsing files, CodeWorker feeds nodes into a parse tree. A tree is a convenient structure to represent a hierarchical set of nodes, as in XML for instance.<\/p>\n

The parse tree is populated by the parsing task, and used by the source code generation script to generate code, text or binary data.<\/p>\n

Source code generation<\/h2>\n

CodeWorker can parse a language and use the resulting parse tree to generate source code via template-based scripts. One example is database DDL (Database Definition Language). CodeWorker has been used to parse DDL and generate large portions of a Java application.<\/p>\n

CodeWorker’s source code generation can occur in three ways: generation, expansion or translation.<\/p>\n

generation<\/strong> uses a script, much like JSP or PHP, to produce an output file. Only certain areas, called protected areas in the vocabulary of CodeWorker, are preserved in the file.<\/p>\n

expansion<\/strong> is used when small portions of an existing file need to be generated. The points where code is to be inserted are called markups in the vocabulary of CodeWorker, and code is inserted at the markups. The Class Wizard of Visual C++ generates code using this principle.<\/p>\n

program transformation: a source file has to change for optimizing, refactoring, instrumenting or rewriting selected portions. For example, a script could add a trace at the beginning of each function body of a JAVA or C++ source code. To do that, parsing discovers function bodies, and source code generation will insert the code that implements the trace.<\/p>\n

The figure describes the classical approach used in a leader script interpreted by CodeWorker. It shows the script, which calls first a BNF-parse script, before continuing in sequence and calling a template-based script.<\/p>\n

There are some other capabilities not noted above, for example CodeWorker can be run as a CGI program and this is something we have tested extensively on large websites.<\/p>\n

CodeWorker has given us the chance to enhance the features of PlayOJO to make it a leading casino in Canada. It has been a long process to adapt, but definitely worth it. We will keep collaborating with them because they are the leading technology for online casinos.<\/p>\n

Multiple times we have tried to change to new technologies, but we had never managed to find one with such potential that would break the common ones. CodeWorker has given us the chance to be different and grow to levels that we did not know we could achieve in the Canadian online casino industry.<\/p>\n

Generative programming is a software engineering approach interested in automating the production of reusable, tailor-made, adaptable and reliable IT systems.\n\nIn layman's terms, CodeWorker lets you generate code by parsing existing languages, or by creating and parsing your own language. Once a language file has been parsed, CodeWorker provides several techniques for generating code.\nThe tool's scripting language drives the parsing and source code generation process. The scripting language syntax is derived from the C family of languages, making it familiar to most programmers. The template syntax is like JSP, ASP, or Velocity. It has variations for parsing, code generation, or procedural programming, giving the developer a number of options for organizing CodeWorker projects, like the roulette online project<\/a>.\n\nIt is also possible to integrate the CodeWorker's features about parsing and code generation into C++, Java and .NET applications:\n
