Documentation of voc internals

[alaa-alawi]

I'm looking for documentation for the internals of the voc compiler. I read the documentation coming with voc but nothing was discussing the ineternals in a similar fashion to N.W. compiler construction chapters 7 and 8

AFAIK, voc is based on Regis Crelier's OP2 compiler, so I would recommend to check the report available here: https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/68707 and/or his PhD thesis: https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/141604

There should be a reference in the documentation to Templ Josef's ofront. voc is an extended and elaborate version of ofront. Do you have any specific questions we might be able to answer?

[alaa-alawi]

Thanks for the reference I'll look into it.
I'm just trying to understand the internals to be able to play with it and hack it. I'm not fast. but currently reading the source since 2 weeks but still could not wrap my head around it.

Great, keep up! I'm ready to support if you get stuck.

ofront in turn is based on OP2 ...

Thanks all! for the support and the project.
The OP2 compiler paper really cleared a lot of things which seemed like black magic :) Especially when fields change meaning based on context of processing.

thank you everyone! maybe we should make this more clear in the readme. or add some links there.
