Formal Semantics of the CDL Language

We reverse-engineer a formal semantics of the Component Definition Language (CDL), which is part of the highly configurable, embedded operating system eCos. This work provides the basis for an analysis and comparison of the two variability-modeling languages Kconfig and CDL. The semantics given in this document are based on analyzing the CDL documentation, inspecting the source code of the toolchain, as well as testing the tools on particular examples.

Formal Semantics of the Kconfig Language

The Kconfig language defines a set of symbols that are assigned a value in a configuration. We describe the semantics of the Kconfig language according to the behavior exhibited in the xconfig configurator. We assume an abstract syntax representation for concepts in the Kconfig language and delegate the details of the translation from concrete to abstract syntaxes to a later document.
