  The ESUIF System
 Overview
  ESUIF is a compiler for the synchronous language Esterel built on the SUIF 2 system from Stanford. It is intended to be a freely-distributed platform for research on Esterel and related synchronous languages.

The compiler consists of a frontend created with ANTLR that builds an AST-like high-level intermediate form stored using the SUIF 2 system. Dismantlers transform this high-level intermediate form into a lower-level representation closer to C. Eventually, one or more back ends will transform this into executable C.

ESUIF is written in C++ and has been built under Linux and Solaris. It may run on other platforms, but is limited to those on which SUIF 2 builds.

 Releases
  Download The 0.2 release. Surely buggy, but has a complete parser and most of the front end. Missing a linker, and a back end.
  Download The 0.1 release. Surely buggy, but has a complete parser and most of the front end. Missing a linker, statement dismantlers, and a back end.
 Required Software
  Download basesuif-2.2.0-4.tar.gz : The base SUIF 2 package. ESUIF is built on this.
  Download antlr-2.7.1-tar.gz : The ANTLR system. ESUIF uses this to build its parser. (Note: this may not work. You may have to go to the main ANTLR site and register.
