#cashew
Cashew is an asm.js parser written in C++.
- Cashew has a parser which does not mandate any particular AST. You can plug in your AST builder methods.
- Cashew comes with a simple AST that is similar to Uglify's AST. You can either use that, or consider it an example.
- Cashew parses ASCII input.
- Cashew is built for speed.
- Cashew does not do much in terms of error checking.
The main use case for Cashew is to quickly parse known-valid asm.js, in order to then process it.
##usage
istring.h and cpp implement an always-interned string class. This
makes parsing much more efficient.
parser.h and cpp implement the parser. It is templated on the AST
pointer type, and a class that provides methods to build the
various things necessary.
simple_ast.h and cpp implement an AST using Cashew, and provide
a builder, see ValueBuilder in the header.
test.cpp is a simple example of using Cashew and the simple AST. It
is used by test.py, which runs the test suite.
##Building
Uses cmake.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
##Testing
cd build
../test.py
