Install: brew install treecc

About:
Treecc is a specialized tool designed to manage the implementation of tree walking and traversal in compilers and interpreters. It uses an aspect-oriented approach to separate the tree traversal logic from the operations performed on the nodes, simplifying the development of complex code generators.

Key Features:

Aspect-oriented code generation
Automatic tree traversal logic
Separation of concerns for compiler design
Supports multiple output languages (C/C++)

Use Cases:

Building the code generation phase of a compiler
Implementing interpreters requiring tree walking
Managing complex visitor patterns in AST processing

Alternatives:

ANTLR – ANTLR is a full parser generator, whereas Treecc specifically focuses on the tree traversal aspect.
Manual Visitor Pattern – Treecc automates the boilerplate code required for the visitor pattern.
