* Makefile.am (dist): Package up the source tree, including testsuite and runtime. * main.cxx: Use clog instead of cerr for logging messages. * buildrun.cxx: Ditto. (compile_pass): Add -Iruntime/user for test mode. * translate.cxx (*): Commonalize test/real mode output. * Makefile.in: Regenerated.

-systemtap prototype #3.3
-
-- demonstrates parsing of hypothetical systemtap script
- language using hand-written simpe LL(1) recursive-descent parser
- and similar little lexer: parse.cxx, parse.h
-- semantic analysis in elaborate.cxx; translation in translate.cxx;
- driven from main.cxx
-- examples under testsuite/*
-- "probe", "global", "function" top-level constructs parsed
-- some tapset library auto-inclusion supported
-- use autotools-style configure; make; make check
-- to see parse tree: stap -p1 -e 'SCRIPT FRAGMENT'
-- to see semantic/type analysis results: stap -p2 -e 'SCRIPT FRAGMENT'
-- to see translation of constructs: stap -e 'SCRIPT FRAGMENT';
- try compiling result with "gcc -c"!
