Re: [Vala] Research project on the Vala compiler



I will look further into git.gnome.org, it looks really promising.

Also, I thought of just running per-language search on GitHub, 
Bitbucket and other hosting services.

I am currently compiling meta-data of the projects in a YAML file so 
that the checkout, configure, build and computation processes can be 
easily automated and reproduced.

Thank you for the suggestions! I am always open to more ideas.

You could add two projects in your list:
GXml:  git.gnome.org/browse/gxml
LibreSCL: github.com/pwmediaconsulting/librescl
Both are written in Vala and generate C code to compile binaries.
I'm the maintener  of both then I can help you and of course I'm one 
of the most interested.
Both are LGPL and I've found lot of memory leaks and I start to 
investigate generated C source code.

Hi everyone!

I am conducting a small research project on the Vala compiler that
would principally study how it affects different quality metrics
(size, complexity, etc...) during the implementation step of the
development.

My goal is to confirm the relevance of metrics measured in the
generated C code to evaluate the quality of the sources. This is
important considering the impressive amount of tools that have been
developed to measure the quality of C/C++ sources.

By the same time, I also want to provide an empirical model that 
would
allow transformations of the measured metrics into significative
measures for the sources. For example we could be interested into
knowing the relationship between the size of input and output of 
valac
or the impact on the cyclomatic complexity.

Therefore, I am interested in projects of all size written in Vala
that generates C code during the build process. It would also be 
great
to have indications on how the sources are structured and how I can
extract them.

Ex. cloc $(find src -name '*.vala') $(find build -name '*.c')

Yet, I have these projects in mind:

      * vala 30 KLOC
      * valadoc 23.5 KLOC
      * gnome-pomodoro 4.6 KLOC

I plan to use it as an empirical justification to setup a set of
measurements to control the quality of Valum, a web micro-
framework I
will work on this summer.

The results will be all released under a Creative Commons license.

Thanks in advance :)
