Abstract :
The use of program generation from graphical representations like UML is increasing in software projects. The notion of hypergenericity is being posited to improve program generators. This paper presents MetaScribe, a tool designed to build program generators, which provides guidelines to program generator designers and has enhanced facilities for reusability. An example illustrates the use of MetaScribe: the construction of program generators from UML class diagrams to C++ and Ada95
