Clan 0.8.0 (updated 2014-06-03)
New major version of Clan based on OpenScop which brings multiple SCoP extraction, better automatic and pragma-based extraction, and other improvements.
Clan is a free software and library which translates some particular parts of high level programs written in C, 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++, C# or Java).
The following information ressources are available to Clan users:Three Google Groups are open for discussions around Clan:
