Cozy is a tool that synthesizes data structure implementations from simple high-level specifications. It automatically chooses a good representation of your data and efficient method implementations.
Cozy can greatly simplify the task of writing software modules with private state. In most cases, Cozy specifications are short and self-documenting, and are therefore much easier to maintain than handwritten implementations. Occasionally Cozy can discover deep optimizations that human developers shy away from.
Currently, Cozy can generate code for C++ and Java.
Dependencies:
- Python >= 3.5
- The Python modules listed in
requirements.txt; install them withpip3 install -r requirements.txt.
If you run into trouble, consult the wiki page on troubleshooting setup and installation.
To list all command-line options (and ensure that everything is correctly installed):
$ python3 -m cozy --help
To synthesize an implementation (Basic.java) of the specification
examples/basic.ds:
$ python3 -m cozy examples/basic.ds --java Basic.java
Installation is optional; Cozy can run in this source directory as described in the "Quickstart" section. If you want to install the global executable "cozy" on your system:
$ pip3 install .
