Abstract
Many CASE tools require Ada source code analysis similar to the semantic analysis that Ada compilers perform. Since this semantic analysis constitutes a large, complex portion of existing Ada compilers, re-engineering these Ada compiler parts to serve as CASE tool parts offers significant savings. This paper uses the author´s experience with re-engineering an Ada compiler into an Ada PDL Processor tool to illustrate how the re-engineering effort involves automated compiler generation technology, semantic analysis modifications, and complex system partitioning challenges
