Tools from Pugh et al.'s "Omega Project" for constraint-based compiler tools: The "Omega Library" for constraint manipulation; The "Omega Calculator" (text interface); the "Omega Test" for depedence analysis; the "Uniform Library" for code transformation; and the "Code generation" library for generating the transformed code. I am experimenting with tracking bugs with Lighthouse, but am not yet sure I've got it configure right --- see http://davew_haverford.lighthouseapp.com/projects/13658-the-omega-project/overview (if you can; if you can't, email davew@cs.haverford.edu).
