Clan
A Polyhedral Representation Extraction Tool for C-Based High Level Languages
Keyword: Polyhedral compilation
Functional Description: Clan is a free software and library which translates some particular parts of high level programs written in C, C++ or Java into a polyhedral representation called OpenScop. This representation may be manipulated by other tools to, e.g., achieve complex analyses or program restructurations (for optimization, parallelization or any other kind of manipulation). It has been created to avoid tedious and error-prone input file writing for polyhedral tools (such as CLooG, LeTSeE, Candl etc.). Using Clan, the user has to deal with source codes based on C grammar only (as C, C++ or Java). Clan is notably the frontend of the two major high-level compilers Pluto and PoCC.
