Elixir Code Generator for aleph-syntax-tree

This crate provides a code generator that transforms an abstract syntax tree (AST) from the aleph-syntax-tree crate into Elixir source code.

Features

• Converts AlephTree expressions into idiomatic Elixir code
• Supports a wide range of constructs:
  • Literals: Int, Float, Bool, String, Bytes
  • Data structures: Array, Tuple
  • Control flow: If, While, Match, Stmts, Let, LetRec
  • Functional: App, Return, Not, And, Or
  • Array manipulation: Get, Put, Remove, Length
  • Miscellaneous: Comment, Assert, Import, etc.
• Automatically handles indentation and formatting
• Skips unsupported nodes with clean fallbacks

Usage

Add to your project

Make sure you have the aleph-syntax-tree crate available in your workspace.

Example

use aleph_syntax_tree::syntax::AlephTree;
use your_crate::generate;

fn main() {
    let ast = AlephTree::Let {
        var: "x".into(),
        is_pointer: false,
        value: Box::new(AlephTree::Int { value: "42".into() }),
        expr: Box::new(AlephTree::Return {
            value: Box::new(AlephTree::Var { var: "x".into(), is_pointer: false }),
        }),
    };

    let elixir_code = generate(ast);
    println!("{}", elixir_code);
}

Output

x = 42
x

Function Signature

pub fn generate(ast: AlephTree) -> String

Returns the Elixir code as a String.

Limitations

• Complex and class-related nodes are currently ignored or return empty strings.
• COBOL-specific constructs are not supported in Elixir output.
