The Simple Stuff …

1. What are generators?
   • Generators are a method of traversing a "graph" of data and producing an alternative view of that data, the practical upshot of which is ... you can supply data in one format and the generator "transforms" it into another format ...
     • eg from TDx to C or VDx to TDx,
     • hence they're usually called {x}2{y}.gen,
       • where x and y are two different formats eg
         tdx2ch.gen {converts from tdx to .x and .h} or
         LL(n)2c#.gen {converts from an ll(n) grammar to c#}
         
         
2. What generators are available?
   • The table below indicates what generators are currently available and their state of completion...
     • (o) indicates partial working implementation
     • (x) indicates a working full implementation
     • (X) indicates a working full implementation with optimisations
