    OpenGEODE - A tiny SDL Editor for TASTE

    This module generates Ada code from SDL process models.
    The Ada code is compliant with the TASTE interfaces, and is
    using the ASN.1 "Space-Certified" compiler for data type definition.
    (See TASTE documentation for more information)

    The design is flexible and can be used as basis for other backends.

    Entry point:
    The AST of the model that is parsed is described in ogAST.py

    A Visitor Pattern using Python's "singledispatch" mechanism is used
    to go through the AST and generate code for each SDL construct.

    There is a single function called "generate", decorated with the
    singledispatch mechanism, that needs to be called to generate the code
    of any AST element.

    The generate function returns two values: "code" and "local_decl",
    containing a set of statements and a set of local variables
    (that can be later placed anywhere in the code).

    Expressions (all classes derived from ogAST.Expression) are generated
    using the "expression" visitor (singledispatch set of function).

    Expressions return three values: "code", "ada_string" and "local_decl".
    The "ada_string" value is the usable string that corresponds
    to the result of the expression evaluation.

    For example, take the SDL statement "OUTPUT hello(a+5)"

    This results (in TASTE terminology) in calling the required interface
    called "hello" and passing a parameter of an ASN.1 type (say MyInteger).
    The parameter is always passed by reference.

    It is therefore necessary to build a temporary variable to hold the result
    of the "a+5" expression.

    In this example, the "generate" function will return:
    local_decl = ["tmp01 : MyInteger;"]
    (The template backend can then place it wherever appropriate)

    and code = ["tmp01 := a + 5;", "hello(tmp01);"]
    (The template will then do a '\n'.join(code) - and add indents, etc.)

    To know about "tmp01" and generate the code "hello(tmp01);",
    the function will recursively call "generate" and
    pass a+5 as parameter. The call will return the tuple:

    local_decl = ["tmp01 : MyInteger;"]
    code = ["tmp01 := a + 5;"]
    ada_string = "tmp01"

    This design allows to have any level of complexity in the embedded
    expression in a way that is easy to handle (adding constructs with
    this pattern is straightforward, once the generate function for each AST
    entry is properly implemented).
