Pretty-Printing within the ASF plus SDF Meta-Environment: A Generic Approach.211 Software Engineering

摘要

In this paper, we give an overview of pretty-printers that have been developed211u001ewithin this project and observe that these pretty-printers are either language 211u001edependent or non-customizable. Language independence and customizability are 211u001einevitable properties of pretty-printers however, when faced with the problem of 211u001eformatting many different, evolving languages. Therefore, we introduce in this 211u001epaper a generic framework for pretty-printing and describe an instantiation of 211u001ethe framework that forms a language independent and customizable pretty-printer.
