Programmable queries, or a new design of earch tools
Toshihiro Kamiya · 2009
This paper presents a novel design of search tools in reverse engineering, which enables describing core searching tasks (such as pattern searching, extraction, filtering, etc.) in a separated way from the management task of location data (such as line number or file name). By using example programs with a prototype implementation, we explain how the proposed design differs from a traditional design, and how the programs help the implementation of customizable tools.
