Top: Computers: Programming: Metaprogramming
Metaprogramming (synonym: generative programming): a style of programming in which, in some way, a program writes or modifies some code in some language. Compilers and self-modifying programs are two examples of metaprograms.
Conferences on metaprogramming.
MOPs allow programmatic redefinition of the semantics of certain elements of a language.
Quines are programs that generate themselves as output (without trivial "cheats" such as reading their own source code). The term was coined by Douglas R. Hofstadter, and is named after the famous twentieth-century philosopher Willard V. O. Quine.
| Please, submit specific programming language source code generators in appropriate programming language category in Computers:Programming:Languages, disassemblers and decompilers to Computers:Programming:Disassemblers category, compilers and compiler generators to appropriate category in Computers:Programming:Compilers. |
Tools that generate source code of some programming language(s) as output based at templates, source code, other data.
