Here is another project idea I would like to propose:
Parse Makefile.am using an Abstract Syntax Tree When reading its input files automake doesn't clearly separate the parsing, semantic analysis, and code generation phases. This design does not help with the separation of concerns and makes the code hard to test. The objective of this project is to write a parser for Makefile.am files that generates an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) That can be used independently of the Makefile.in files generation process. Skills: Understanding of the classical compilation phases. Basic knowledge of Perl Mentor: Mathieu Lirzin Contact: automake@gnu.org
