The ASIS is what i was looking at months ago,
the sage++ and openc++ presents something very
compariable.
The modelling of the tree node data structures is one
of the real good things that came out of the work on
the introspector so far (in perl):
from an abstract description of the nodes that I get
from the first pass dump of the trees, and annotate
using introspective methods and meta programmings, I
generate perl,java,and sql structures to hold the tree
nodes.
Maybe it is time to start looking at creating a user
level c interface to the tree nodes.
