Q. How to define annotations?

Given a TXL grammar, enter the following annotations in the end of any
non-terminal rule [...]:

  ... [kept] [ordered by X] [ignored when Y] [preferred with Z]

where X is an optional user-defined ordering rule, Y is an optional
user-defined selection rule, and Z is one to many literal constants or a user-defined
function to be used to replace the term.

Q. How to generate normalisation transformations from the annotations? 

First apply the `normc' to create the normalisation tools, e.g.,

> bin.*/normc source/norm/Java/simple.norm -o result/norm/Java/simple.norm
> bin.*/normc source/norm/Verilog/verilog2.norm -o result/norm/Verilog/verilog2.norm
> bin.*/norm-id-c source/norm/C/cid.norm -o result/norm/C/cid.norm

Then apply the following commands to generate the binary tools:

> bin.*/txlc result/norm/Java/simple.norm -o bin.*/Java/simple
> bin.*/txlc result/norm/Verilog/verilog2.norm -o bin.*/Verilog/verilog2c
> bin.*/txlc result/norm/C/cid.norm -o bin.*/C/cidc

Q. How to normalise the examples?

E.g.,

> bin.*/Java/simplec source/Java/java/HelloWorld.java -o result/Java/java/HelloWorld.java
> bin.*/Java/simplec source/Java/java/HelloWorld-2.java -o result/Java/java/HelloWorld-2.java

Q. How to remove clones in the normalised examples?

Either use the original sources, e.g.,
> bin.*/Java/simplec source/Java/java/HelloWorld.java -diff source/Java/java/HelloWorld-2.java 

or use the normalised source:
> bin.*/Java/simplec result/Java/java/HelloWorld.java -diff result/Java/java/HelloWorld-2.java 

Q. How to count the number of clones removed ?

Turn on the -attr option, e.g.,
> bin.*/Java/simplec -attr source/Java/java/HelloWorld.java -diff source/Java/java/HelloWorld-2.java 

Q. How to compare the code with comments?

We use the "cc" tool to delegate the check differences with comments
> bin.*/Java/simplecc -attr source/Java/java/HelloWorld-2.java -diff source/Java/java/HelloWorld-3.java 

Q. How to extract identifiers from any programs?

We use the "id" tool to extract the identifiers of any programs, e.g.,
> bin.*/C/cidc source/C/vim73/eval.c
