Abstract

GenVoca generators synthesize software systems by composing components from reuse libraries. Although GenVoca components can be composed in a vast number of ways, not all compositions are meaningful. In this talk, we present a model for validating component compositions. The model is based on attribute grammars and provides a powerful debugging capability of explanation-based error reporting. We demonstrate our results with examples from a GenVoca generator for container data structures. THIS PAPER IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN ELECTRONIC FORM.
