GCC-MELT
GCC-MELT is a high-level domain specific language that eases the development of plugin-like extensions for GCC, the Gnu Compiler Collection. These extensions can analyze or modify GCC internal representations, and can be used for static source code analysis, refactoring, specific warnings, optimizations, etc. The MELT language provides high-level features. Notably, MELT code is translated to C, and can even contain C code. It includes powerful pattern matching facilities and can manipulate dynamically typed values and raw GCC structures. It enables functional/applicative, object-oriented, reflective programming styles and has a familiar Lisp-like syntax.

Release Notes: The MELT plugin is available for GCC 4.6 and 4.7. Small MELT language improvement (macro-string syntax). Runtime improvements: handles SIGIO Unix signals with asynchronous input channels (experimental feature), and can be compiled with C++ (like GCC 4.7 often is). Library improvements: many more matchers and much more generated documentation to interface with GCC internals.
