[Introspector-developers] Experimental Redland and Plan

[James M. D. <mdu...@ya...>]

Dear Fellow Hackers,

Today I have uploaded a new experimental  (read completly unstable and
untested) module, a hack of the nice Redland library for RDF output.

After our irc.openprojects.net #introspectors chatathon last night, 
we have discovered on thing : we need a plan!

Here is the plan :

We will be linking this into the gcc and replacing the printfs with
calls librdf. This will create a model of the gcc asts as a set
abstract statements about things.

These models can be passed between programs in memory, 
and the librdf/redland using swig has Perl, Java , Ruby and other
interfaces there. This can be very usefull to us and get more people
more quickly involved.

Of course this idea is not finished, and I have to admit, my RDf is
really bad.
Here is a simple idea of some statements about program: (by no means
valid)

"tree.c"    is-a       Source-File.
"tree.h"    is-a       Header-File.
"tree.c"    includes   "tree.h".
"tree_node" has-id     nodeid-1.
nodeid-1    is-part-of "tree.h".
nodeid-3    is-a       identifier.
nodeid-3    has-name   "tree_node".
nodeid-1    named-by   nodeid-3.
nodeid-2    is-a       identifier.
nodeid-2    has-name   "name".
nodeid-2    is-a       field-decl.

and so on.... Of course there are many ways to write the same thing, 
but it will come down to the something like that. 

You will find the newest modules here (for debian GNU/Linux, not
mingw32)
