[X10-core] X10 AST Serialization

[Manuel M. <man...@ki...>]

Hi,


I am trying to serialize and later deserialize a type-annotated X10 AST. 
  I stumbled upon "README-externalize-ASTs.txt" in the X10.compiler 
directory, which talks about my exact problem.  However, the 
"-EXTERNALIZE_ASTS=true" option does not work anymore.  After some 
digging in subversion logs and the X10 bug tracker, I came to the 
conclusion that this feature is no longer supported.  The X10 AST 
externalizer plugin still exists in the stuff/ subdirectory of 
x10.compiler, however, its code seems to be unmaintained and out of sync 
with the rest of the code.


Is there an easy way to make the externalizer plugin work again?  If 
not, is there currently any other way of achieving the same effect, 
i.e., serializing an AST?


Thanks,
Manuel
