Lab 4: Domain-specific languages

In this assignment, you will need to divide your seminar group of 6 students into 3 pairs each choosing one of the assignments below (no duplicates). The assignments will go through different types of domain-specific languages and it is recommended to choose one you are not overly familiar with.

Preparation

Read the documentation and background as needed for your lab:

• autoconf
• GNU make
• cmake
• There are many resources for regular expressions, and also different dialects of it. You can use online tools such as regexr to learn the basics.
• The SQLite select statement should be a good starting point for the corresponding exercise.
• The Lua C API.
• The Postscript language reference manual (in particular 8.1 is useful for the lab).
• Try an SVG tutorial
• Read about GraphViz and the DOT language.

Assignment

See the lab instructions.

Reporting

• include your findings in the report
• if you made any changes due discussing during the seminar, highlight those
• add your reflections

Consult the Staff page if you are unsure what this address is, and consult WebReg if you are not sure who your assistant is. In the subject line of your email, state clearly the name of the course and the name of the assignment as exemplified below:
