[antlr-interest] Generating C# code from C++

[Patrik Suzzi]

Hi, thanks for reply to message 8189.

I've spent lot of time visiting webpages that talk about code 
translation and generation, but still unexperienced about it.

I've seen on mailgate a discussion (comp.compilers.pcct) about 
translation form C++ to C# using two different tecniques:

Given a Cpp grammar .. A OR B .

Tecnique A
1) using Antlr to generate lexer & parser. 
2) using parser to generate AST
3) using visitor to scan and transfor the tree
4) using the transformed AST with  CodeDOM (C#)

(in this case I must pay attention to some limitation of CodeDOM. For 
example it can't build a switch .. )

Tecnique B
1) I suppose must give the Cpp source to ANTLR
2) Antlr build an XML ast from the given source
3) With C# I can scan XML to 
4.1)generate code passing through AST build and with CodeDOM
  or
4.2)generate code passing trough XSLT transformation

(I think there were some errors in this case explaination)

 *** Can someone tell me what think about these Tecniques ?

(can someone excuse me for my terrible english language ?) 

I'm still searching for better strategies to project, and if anyone 
wants a free worker for anything similar 'm here. (imolanet@ .. )

Think working about free project is the better way to Learn and Help 
others.

Excuse me for stealing your time
 Thanks : Patrik
