DMS is a "library" (we called it a "toolkit") of facilities on can compose to achieve anlaysis and/or automated translation. </p> <p>Relevant to C++, DMS provides at this point in time:</p> <ul> <li>Full C++11 parser, constructing the AST and able to regenerate source code accurately including comments, with a complete preprocessor</li> <li>Full C++ parser with name and type resolution for C++ (ANSI, GNU, MS Visual C++)</li> <li>Control flow analysis for C++</li> <li>Source-to-source transformations</li> <li>Partially complete "rename" machinery (see discussion below)</li> </ul> <p>What I can say from experience is that C++ is a bitch of a language to transform. </p> <p>We continue to work on it, and are completing a reliable renaming tool. Even this is hard; a key problem is the name-shadowing problem. You have a local variable X, and a reference to Y inside that scope; you attempt to rename Y to X and discover that the local variable "captures" the access. It is amazing how many namespaces and capture types you have to worry about in C++. And this is needed as a foundation for many other refactorings.</p> <p>EDIT Feb 2014: Full C++14 parser, control flow analysis, local data flow analysis</p>
