* BRICC
** Usage
$ ./bricc.rb -h
Usage: ./bricc.rb [options] file
-h, --help Displays this information
-V, --version Print version
-t, --target TARGET Transformation target [rtt|ros]
-v, --verbose More verbose output
-o, --outdir DIR Output directory
-p, --params a,b=x,c List of target specific parameters
** Model files
IMPORTANT:
you can use arbitrary Ruby expressions in the model file to read
codels from other files etc, but it is important that the actual
model enclosed in "RGen::ModelBuilder.build(Bcm) do [...] end" is
the *last* statement in the file.
See 'ex_publisher.rb' and 'ex_subscriber.rb' in examples.
** Internals

model, so don't edit directly)

toplevel codel parsing
bcm-codel-ros.rb
bcm-codel-rtt.rb
conversion of bcm_operations to target specific operations
templates/
code generation templates
tt/
PEG grammer used for codel parser generation
rgen2ecore.rb, ecore2rgen.rb, regenerate.sh
helper tools for converting metamodels from the Eclipse version
*** Creating a new target
For creating a new target "foo" you will need to:
1) add the "foo" target to the toplevel bricc.rb option
handling and to the code generator call.
2) add a "dispatching" template to templates/Root.tpl
3) create a new target subdirectory templates/foo
4) implement appropriate templates to generate your target
