Abstract

In this work, we have tried to combine Pascal and C language to form a meta-frame work. This metaplatform also provides data structure flexibility to the programmers. By this, one can declare a data structure in Pascal and can use it in C language segments, and vice versa. This meta-language provides a simple, flexible, extensible, and a formal framework for expressing transformational schemes. It also automates the cumbersome and error-prone part of the program transformation. Our aim is to make meta-programming less error-prone, by providing a type system to facilitate the construction of correct meta- frame.
