Enabling multiple code generators in a translator-based embedded scripting system

摘要

A translator-based embedded scripting environment includes multiple translators executed by one or more computers. An original input source is split into a plurality of intermediate sources for processing by a plurality of translators executed by one or more computers. One or more of the corresponding intermediate sources includes a class definition that contains one or more methods. Another one of the corresponding intermediate sources includes logic to instantiate the class definition as an object and logic to invoke the one or more of the methods of the object in order to maintain a sequence of execution specified in the original input source. Placeholders are used within the class definition during the translations to identify locations of file input/output operations that write data to an output destination.
