Bash parser/static analyzer

Daenyth · 2010-07-29 00:03:53

I'm thinking of creating a parser/analyzer for bash. I know it's not possible to have a complete parse without running it, but for code without `eval` statements and without using variables as commands, it should be possible to at least get something rudimentary to help catch common things.

I've created a git repo to start it off: Bashful

I'll probably do this in either python or perl6. python is more likely to get me help and other coders, but perl6 may give me better tools for parsing. I haven't started coding yet, but I'll start coming up with a set of rules to be implemented in whatever I end up going with.
