WELCOME TO MEMPHIS,
a C/C++ extension for compiler writers.
Memphis adds grammatical types and tree pattern matching
as found in functional languages and modern compiler construction tools.
Experience has shown that these concepts provide a powerful framework
for abstract syntax construction and tree processing.
Memphis acts as a precompiler that translates domain declarations
and match statements into C++ code and copies original C/C++ constructs
directly into the target program.
Take a look at the file
examples/trees/prog.m
for a first example introducing domain declarations and match statements.
