This is a major step toward normalcy---removing the kluge of a build process
that was causing so many issues. Rather than echoing all operations to a
queue file before passing it off to dslc, the new build scripts in `bin/'
are used to invoke tame normally, as needed. This solves all of the current
issues with things not rebuilding when they should. And, as a bonus, tab
completion on targets works.
Sorry this took so long. There wasn't much motivation until we hired so
many people that are suffering from this.
This does a few major things, along with some miscellaneous others:
- Invoke bin/tame directly;
- Merge Makefile.2.in into Makefile.am; and
- Fix up some targets.
* build-aux/Makefile.2.in: Delete file. Mostly merged with Makefile.am.
* build-aux/Makefile.am: Add a bunch of new targets and definitions from
Makefile.2.in. Modify all that previously used .cqueue to now invoke
`$(TAME)' directly. Remove miscellaneous targets for trying to proxy
targets to Makefile.2.
(saneout, _go): Remove definitions.
(.NOTPARALLEL): Add to prevent parallel builds.
(ui/program.expanded.xml)[.version.xml]: Remove dependency for now.
(clean): Also clean generated PHP files. Follow symlinks to clean core.
This is still incomplete (does not clean all rate table stuff).
(suppliers.mk)[xmlo_cmd]: Remove. See `gen-make' and `gen-c1make'.
(lvroot)[summary-html]: New dependency.
(kill-tamed, tamed-die): New targets (former alias of latter) to kill
tamed.
* build-aux/gen-c1make: Generate `$(TAME)' invocation.
* build-aux/gen-make: Likewise. Remove `xmlo_cmd' output. Ignore recursive
`tame' symlink (this can be removed once we clean `rater/' up.
* build-aux/m4/calcdsl.m4 (TAME): Update description to reflect that it
should now be the path to `bin/tame'. Adjust `AC_CHECK_FILE' lines
accordingly.
(tame_needed_ver): Remove. We have been in the same repo as TAME itself
for quite some time. Remove associated code.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove `Makefile.2'.
* src/current/src/com/lovullo/dslc/DslCompiler.java (_DslCompiler)[compile]:
Perform validation prefore `compile' command rather than a separate
`validate' step. Remove `rm'.
[compileSrc]: Stop echoing command. This was only necessary because of
the previous Makefile klugery; now Make echoes on its own correctly.

TAME
TAME is The Adaptive Metalanguage, a programming language and system of tools designed to aid in the development, understanding, and maintenance of systems performing numerous calculations on a complex graph of dependencies, conditions, and a large number of inputs.
This system was developed at LoVullo Associates to handle the complexity of comparative insurance rating systems. It is a domain-specific language (DSL) that itself encourages, through the use of templates, the creation of sub-DSLs. TAME itself is at heart a calculator—processing only numerical input and output—driven by quantifiers as predicates. Calculations and quantifiers are written declaratively without concern for order of execution.
The system has powerful dependency resolution and data flow capabilities.
TAME consists of a macro processor (implementing a metalanguage), numerous compilers for various targets (JavaScript, HTML documentation and debugging environment, LaTeX, and others), linkers, and supporting tools. The input grammar is XML, and the majority of the project (including the macro processor, compilers, and linkers) are written in XSLT. There is a reason for that odd choice; until an explanation is provided, know that someone is perverted enough to implement a full compiler in XSLT.
More information will become available as various portions are liberated during refactoring. tame-core is TAME's core library, and hoxsl was developed as a supporting library.
"Current"
The current state of the project as used in production is found in
src/current/. The environment surrounding the development of this
project resulted in a bit of a mess, which is being refactored into
src/ as it is touched. Documentation is virtually non-existent.
Documentation
Compiled documentation for the latest release is available via our GitLab mirror, which uses the same build pipeline as we do on our internal GitLab instance. Available formats are:
