This software and documentation is developed from both the SPIPAT C/C++
package of Philip L. Budne and the original GNAT.SPITBOL.PATTERNS package of
GNU Ada based on Macro-SPITBOL created by Robert Dewar. GNAT was originally
developed by the GNAT team at New York University with extensive contributions
provided by Ada Core Technologies Inc.
This is a completely general patterm matching package based on the pattern
language of SNOBOL4, as implemented in SPITBOL. The pattern language is
modeled on context free grammars, with context sensitive extensions that
provide full (type 0) computational capabilities.
4 Build and Test
The default build setup is to compile with g++ but PatMat has also been
tested with clang++ and any other standard C++ compiler should be suitable.
The particular compiler can be configured by editing Make/Makefile.config.
- To build the PatMat library:
make - To run all the tests:
make test - To run the tutorial examples:
