This is the NICTA StrictC translation tool.

To install, see the file INSTALL in the src/c-parser directory.

To use:

1. Use the heap CParser that is created by installation
2. Import the theory CTranslation
3. Load ('install') C files into your theories with the Isar command
   install_C_file.

See many examples in the testfiles directory.  For example,
breakcontinue.thy is a fairly involved demonstration of doing things
the hard way.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The translation tool builds on various open source projects by others.

1. Norbert Schirmer's Simpl language and associated VCG tool.

   Sources for this are found in the Simpl/ directory.  The
   code is covered by an LGPL licence.

   See http://afp.sourceforge.net/entries/Simpl.shtml

2. Code from SML/NJ:
   - an implementation of binary sets (Binaryset.ML)
   - the mllex and mlyacc tools (tools/{mllex,mlyacc})
   - command-line option parsing (standalone-parser/GetOpt)

   This code is covered by SML/NJ's BSD-ish licence.

   See http://www.smlnj.org

3. Code from the mlton compiler:
   - regions during lexing and parsing (Region.ML, SourceFile.ML and
     SourcePos.ML)

   This code is governed by a BSD licence.
