asdlGen generates data structure and serializer code from ASDL
specifications [1]. It is especially helpful for exchanging
tree like data structures between different programming languages.
Currently C, C++, Haskell, Java, Icon, OCaml and SML are supported.
Although the asdlGen project itself seems no longer actively
maintained, ASDL is "alive" as it is used (at least) in the
Moby [2] and Python [3,4] compilers.
The port optionally installs a simple usage example [5] for all
seven programming languages. I developed it primarily to test the
port, but it could be helpful to users of asdlGen to get a quicker
start, especially if a less familiar programming language is
involved in their project. Reviewers/committers can easily make
use of it via the "test-demo" target.
