## README

Typeforge
=========

Typeforge is a tool for type refactoring of C/C++ programs. It enables users to change the type of any variable and automatically determines all necessary additional (i.e. type-dependent) changes. It guarantees the syntactic and semantic correctness of the generated code. Generated code will always compile.

# Getting Started

Typeforge uses [ROSE Compiler](http://rosecompiler.org/).
The following instructions assume that [ROSE is installed](https://github.com/rose-compiler/rose/wiki/How-to-Set-Up-ROSE) and the `rose-config` tool is on your path.
You might also need to install autoconf and libtool (for Ubuntu: `sudo apt install autoconf libtool`).

You can then follow these instructions to install Typeforge:
```
git clone https://github.com/LLNL/typeforge.git
cd typeforge
./build
./configure
make -j
sudo make install
typeforge --version
```
If you do not have administrative priviledge, add `--prefix=/path/to/install/typeforge` to the `configure` command.
