Summary : A semantic parser of source files
URL : https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org
License : MIT
Description : Sparse is a semantic parser of source files: it's neither a compiler
: (although it could be used as a front-end for one) nor is it a
: preprocessor (although it contains as a part of it a preprocessing
: phase).
:
: It is meant to be a small - and simple - library. Scanty and meager,
: and partly because of that easy to use. It has one mission in life:
: create a semantic parse tree for some arbitrary user for further
: analysis. It's not a tokenizer, nor is it some generic context-free
: parser. In fact, context (semantics) is what it's all about - figuring
: out not just what the grouping of tokens are, but what the _types_ are
: that the grouping implies.
:
: Sparse is primarily used in the development and debugging of the Linux kernel.
