Professionally designed and developed OpenMP parser for the Ada programming language using flex

Abstract

This paper describes a new version of OpenMP parser for Ada. AdaOMP consists of: OpenMP compiler for Ada and Ada package with OpenMP routines and variables. We show how compiler writing can be improved by the use of professional tool - flex - lexical analyzer, for kernel creation. In this paper we focus on describing steps leading to parser creation. We will explain some implementation details and present the results of using the OpenMP parser on sequential programs.
