capDL-tool

This tool is intended to be used with capDL textual specifications. In particular, it can parse input files into a variety of different output formats, including Isabelle theory files and C source files that can be given to the capDL initialiser.

For usage instructions run ‘make’ and then ‘./parse-capDL’.

For details of the Capability Distribution Language, see the specification in the ‘doc/’ directory. Run ‘make’ in that directory to generate ‘capDL.pdf’.

Repository overview

  • ‘CapDL’: Haskell source code of the tool
  • ‘*.cdl’: Toy examples used as test files
  • ‘*.right’: Canonical representations of the examples used in testing
  • ‘doc’: Latex source of the capDL Specification

Dependencies

Stack should automatically retrieve all necessary Haskell dependencies to build this tool, but if you need exact dependency information it is available in capDL-tool.cabal and stack.yaml.

To install all dependencies of this tool (including the haskell compiler if an appropriate version of GHC isn’t found), run

make sandbox

This will install GHC in “~/.stack” (if it isn’t already installed there), and install all libraries in the local directory “.stack-work”.

To build this tool, run

make

To place the capdl binary in the top level directory of this project, run

make install
