Back to RMTool: File Formats.A map file consists of an ordered sequence of map entries. Each entry is placed within square brackets (and may span lines). A source model entity is mapped by the first line in the map it matches (this behaviour can be overridden in the command-line interface to the tools).
A map entry names entities in the source model and associates them with entities in the high-level model.
Source model entities are named by using the keywords specified in the
current language setting.
For example, if the default C language configuration is used, a
software engineer may use the keywords directory, file, and/or
function as in:
[ file=vm_fault\.c mapTo=KernelFaultHandler ]
specifies that all entities in the file vm_fault.c will be mapped
to the high-level model entity KernelFaultHandler.
Regular expressions may be used when naming the source entities (but not when naming high-level model entities). The regular expression syntax is that of egrep.
By default, wildcards are places around the start and end of a
source item regular expression. For instance, stating
file=pager means file=.*pager.*. This
wildcarding can be overridden through the use of the ^ and $
operators. For instance, file=^pager\.c$ states only the
file named pager.c (and not pager.h).
Multiple high-level model entities may be named on the right hand
side of a mapping entry. For example:
[ file=vm_fault\.c mapTo=KernelFaultHandler mapTo=AnotherEntity]
maps the entities in vm_fault.C to both
KernelFaultHandler and AnotherEntity.
Lines beginning (in the first column) with # in the mapping file are considered comment lines. An example map file for the compiler example follows.
# .* in next line is unecessary [ file=scanner.* mapTo=Parse ] [ file=buf\.[ch] mapTo=Parse ] [ class=Parser mapTo=Parse ] [ class=Ast mapTo=AST ] [ class=AssignStmt mapTo=AST ] [ class=BinOp mapTo=AST ] [ class=Block mapTo=AST ] [ directory=401 class=CallStmt mapTo=AST ]
