A Compiler-Compiler for DSL Embedding

TL;DR

This paper introduces a framework that automates the generation of compilers for embedded domain-specific languages, simplifying the development process and demonstrating its effectiveness through multiple use-cases.

Contribution

The paper presents a novel framework that automates boilerplate code generation for EDSL compiler development on extensible optimizing compilers.

Findings

Successfully built several EDSL compilers using the framework

Framework reduces development time for EDSL compilers

Demonstrates practicality through multiple use-cases

Abstract

In this paper, we present a framework to generate compilers for embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs). This framework provides facilities to automatically generate the boilerplate code required for building DSL compilers on top of extensible optimizing compilers. We evaluate the practicality of our framework by demonstrating several use-cases successfully built with it.
