Heptagon is a synchronous dataflow language whose syntax and semantics is
|
|
inspired from <a href="http://www-verimag.imag.fr/Synchrone,30.html">Lustre</a>,
|
|
with a syntax allowing the expression of control structures (e.g., switch or
|
|
mode automata).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Heptagon is also a research compiler, whose aim is to facilitate
|
|
experimentation. The current version of the compiler includes the following
|
|
features:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Inclusion of <em>discrete controller synthesis</em> within the
|
|
compilation</strong>: the language is equipped with a behavioral contract
|
|
mechanisms, where assumptions can be described, as well as an "enforce"
|
|
property part. The semantics of this latter is that the property should be
|
|
enforced by controlling the behaviour of the node equipped with the
|
|
contract. This property will be enforced by an automatically built controller,
|
|
which will act on free controllable variables given by the programmer. This
|
|
extension has been named <a href="http://bzr.inria.fr">BZR</a> in previous
|
|
works.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Expression and compilation of array values with modular memory
|
|
optimization.</strong> The language allows the expression and operations on
|
|
arrays (access, modification, iterators). With the use of <em>location annotations</em>, the
|
|
programmer can avoid unnecessary array copies.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|

Heptagon is developed in
|
|
the <a href="http://www.di.ens.fr/ParkasTeam.html">Parkas (ENS)</a>
|
|
and <a href="http://team.inria.fr/ctrl-a">Ctrl-A (LIG/INRIA)</a> research teams.

<h2>How to get it or try it</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Installation with OPAM</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The easiest and recommended way to install Heptagon/BZR is to use
|
|
the OCaml Package Manager (OPAM).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The installation sequence using OPAM is :
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Install OPAM : the procedure depends on your system and is
|
|
described <a href="http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html">on
|
|
the OPAM webpage</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>(optional, for the graphical simulator) Install
|
|
the <i>gtk2.0</i> libraries (on debian systems, the package is
|
|
named <tt>libgtk2.0-dev</tt>)</li>
|
|
<li>Initialize OPAM:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
opam init
|
|
opam switch 4.02.3
|
|
eval `opam config env`
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Install Heptagon:
|
|
<pre>opam install heptagon</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>To use the controller synthesis tool ReaX with Heptagon/BZR :
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Install the <i>mpfr</i> and <i>gmp</i> libraries (on debian
|
|
systems, packages named <tt>libmpfr-devel</tt>
|
|
and <tt>libgmp-devel</tt>)</li>
|
|
<li>Add the repository for ReaX and its libraries (named here
|
|
nberth-repo) :
|
|
<pre>
|
|
opam repo add nberth-repo "http://nberth.space/opam-repo"
|
|
opam update
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Install ReaX and its libraries, and the BZReaX script:
|
|
<pre>opam install fixpoint bddapron reatk bzreax</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The source code is also available from <a
|
|
href="http://heptagon.gforge.inria.fr">the Heptagon/BZR web page</a> for manual
|
|
compilation and installation. Further indications about ReaX can
|
|
be found on <a href="http://reatk.gforge.inria.fr">the ReaX/ReaTk
|
|
page</a>.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Manual installation</h3>
|
|
<h4>Download</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Heptagon can be freely downloaded <a href="http://gforge.inria.fr/projects/heptagon">here</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Technical requirements</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The use of the Heptagon compiler by itself does not require any
|
|
additional tools. However, the usual use involves a compiler for the
|
|
generated code (target languages are currently C or Java).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To manually compile and install the Heptagon compiler, the following tools and libraries are needed:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ocamlfind</li>
|
|
<li>The <em>menhir</em> tool</li>
|
|
<li>The <em>ocamlgraph</em> library</li>
|
|
<li><em>camlp4</em></li>
|
|
<li>The <em>lablgtk</em> library (optional, for the graphical simulator)</li>
|
|
<li>The <em>reatk</em> library (optional, for the backend towards the ReaX controller synthesis too)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The tools below are optional or are related to some subparts of Heptagon:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The graphical display tool sim2chro can be obtained from
|
|
<a href="http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~raymond/edu/distrib/">
|
|
Verimag</a>. It can be used together with Heptagon's graphical simulator.</li>
|
|
<li> <a href="https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/bzr">Sigali</a>, the
|
|
controller synthesis tool, developed by the Espresso and Vertecs team at INRIA
|
|
Rennes. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Compilation and installation</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the previously described libraries and tools are installed, the Heptagon compiler and libraries can be installed with:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</p>
