I'm trying to build IMP from SVN trunk source, but I'm having some problems with getting LPG to generate compatible ASTs. Which version of the LPG generator executable are you using for IMP development, and with what command-line options?

I'm traveling right now, so I can't check easily, but I *think* the latest LPG on SourceForge (2.0.22) should work with the latest LPG tooling that comes with IMP (org.eclipse.imp.lpg.ide) and should generate reasonable ASTs.

Can you give more details on the problems you're having?

BTW, there's a new release of LPG (2.0.23) imminent with a couple more bug fixes. There's also some work afoot to generate better AST classes (e.g., with a better API for things like boolean-, integer-, and enum-valued non-terminals) which we hope to get out in the next couple of months or so.

I tried using LPG 2.0.22 but as the compiler binary of that one is giving

  *** glibc detected *** lpg-linux_x86_64: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00000000019b7ce0 ***


I'm instead using the latest LPG straight from CVS. I've built the binary, and have the lpg.runtime and lpg.runtime.java packages in my workspace.

Also, I've checked out wala 1.2.2 from SVN, and have com.ibm.wala.shrike in my workspace. In addition I've installed Polyglot and SDF/BOX tools from the IMP update site. With these I'm hoping I have all the IMP dependencies.

After having brought IMP code into my workspace straight from SVN there are errors say in org.eclipse.imp.box, such as

  Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
The return type is incompatible with List<ASTNode>.add(ASTNode)	AbstractASTNodeList.java	/org.eclipse.imp.box/src/org/eclipse/imp/box/parser/Ast	line 29	Java Problem


and I might assume that these are due to an incompatibility with lpg.runtime. So if I then try recompiling all the IMP .g files using a matching version of the LPG compiler

  for f in `find -type d -name .svn -prune -o -type d -name bin -prune -o -type f -name '*.g' -print`; do (cd `dirname $f` && lpg-run `basename $f`); done


where lpg-run runs

  lpg-linux_x86_64 -rule_classnames=stable "-include-directory=.;..;$HOME/bin/lpg-templates;$HOME/bin/lpg-include" $*


where lpg-templates and lpg-include points to the LPG CVS head templates and includes respectively. This results in a rather lengthy 'svn diff' but more or less the same set of files, and there are still some errors, although far fewer than before, errors such as

  Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
The method add(ASTNode) in the type AbstractASTNodeList is not applicable for the arguments (IBox)	BoxInterpreter.java	/org.eclipse.imp.box/src/org/eclipse/imp/box/interpreter	line 459	Java Problem


which I'm guessing is an IMP incompatibility with lpg.runtime.

But after this experiment I've learned that the IMP packages that are building should be enough to build Rascal from SVN (which is what I actually want to do), so all is well enough.

First off, thanks for the bug reports!

Ah, yes, sorry about that -- there was indeed a latent bug that resulted from
attempting to use an already-closed file handle, which could cause symptoms
like the one you encountered. It's been fixed in CVS HEAD, and today I released
LPG 2.0.23, which includes the fix.

Yes, it's entirely possible that the IMP Box plugin isn't quite up to date wrt
the LPG runtime. It just needs to have the parser re-generated from the grammar
file. I'll fix that ASAP.
