REGULAR-TYPE-EXPRESSION (RTE)

Synopsis

This project contains several Common Lisp packages. The packages fall into three categories.

• Usable to the general public.
• Used for analysis in PhD thesis.
• Used for testing other packages in.

Motivation

The implementation of rational type expression is the main result of this project. However, several intermediate results might be useful as well, so they are made available.

Packages usable for the general public.

cl-robdd

Implementation of ROBDD, Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram

scrutiny

Slime-friendly Unit Testing package, based loosely on lisp-unit (https://github.com/OdonataResearchLLC/lisp-unit).

rte

Definition of the RTE CL type. A type (and supporting functions) which implement rational type expressions.

rte-regexp

Simple string regular expression matcher based on rte

2d-array

Extensible sequence classes to represent vertical and horizontal "slices" of 2d arrays

lisp-types

Utilities dealing with CL types

ndfa

Implementation of non-deterministed finite automata

adjuvant

Certain utilities used in many other packages

dispatch

Implementation of the function SPECIALIZER-INTERSECTION

Used for analsis in PhD thesis.

Installation

This code loads via asdf. rte.asd loads the RTE system and its dependencies. However, if you do not wish to use RTE, you may also use ndfa.asd, 2d-array.asd, or lisp-types.asd as starting points.

External dependencies

This code references several external asdf systems. These may be found and installed using quicklisp or gitlab.lrde.epita.fr.

cl-fad (quicklisp)

closer-mop (quicklisp)

subtypep (gitlab.lrde.epita.fr)

bordeaux-threads (quicklisp)

yacc (quicklisp)

Tests

Testing is done using scrutiny. You may load the system code without the tests via rte.asd, ndfa.asd, 2d-array.asd, or lisp-types.asd. But if you wish to run the tests, the starting points are respectively rte-test.asd, ndfa-test.asd, 2d-array-test.asd, and lisp-types-test.asd. Within each corresponding subdirectory the files containing scrutiny test cases are all prefixed by "test-". To run the tests, you'll need to use ASDF to load the corresponding asdf system definition, e.g.,

CL-USER> (asdf:load-system :rte-test)
CL-USER> (in-package :rte-test)
TEST> (rte-test::test)
