[Mono-dev] GSoC - AST Verifier for C# compiler

[Mike Krüger]

Hi

Try to look at NRefactory git://github.com/icsharpcode/NRefactory.git
The structural visitor was built for that. NRefactory does:
Text -> Mcs AST -> NRefactory AST
That AST can generate C# code as text - using the output visitor, or 
just node.GetText().  Therefore it's half way done,
however I'm sure that there are still things not fully correct, any help 
improving that would be appreciated.

The NRefactory AST holds lexical informations about the tokens as well, 
they could be checked against the input text. There are 2 projects 
inside the NRefactory solution that may be helful: ConsistencyCheck and 
AstVerifier (it's very, very basic).

Regards
Mike
