\frametitle{Calling Dynare}
\begin{itemize}
\item Dynare is called from the host language platform with the syntax \texttt{dynare <<filename>>.mod}
\item This call can be followed by certain options:
\begin{itemize}
\item Some of these options impact host language platform functionality, \textit{e.g.} \texttt{nograph} prevents graphs from being displayed in Matlab
\item Some cause differences in the output created by default, \textit{e.g.} \texttt{notmpterms} prevents temporary terms from being written to the static/dynamic files
\item While others impact the functionality of the macroprocessor or the preprocessor, \textit{e.g.} \texttt{nostrict} shuts off certain checks that the preprocessor does by defalut

%\item \textit{Note:} the list of tokens can be found at the beginning of \texttt{DynareBison.yy}

\frametitle{Future work (1/2)}
\framesubtitle{Enhancements, optimizations}
\begin{itemize}
\item Refactor and reorganize some portions of the code
\item Create a testsuite (with unitary tests)
\item Separate computation of temporary terms between static and dynamic outputs
\item Enhance sub-expression sharing algorithm (using associativity, commutativity and factorization rules)
\item Add many checks on the structure of the \texttt{mod} file
\end{itemize}
\frametitle{Proposed changes with addition of Julia support (1/2)}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Julia output is provided upon parsing of \texttt{mod} file, everything else done in Julia
\begin{itemize}
\item Pros: very few changes to the preprocessor
\item Cons: repeated code (same checks, transformations, computations done in preprocessor and Julia); potential code divergence/two parallel projects
\end{itemize}
\item Dump preprocessor altogether: do everything with Julia
\begin{itemize}
\item Pros: simple to distribute, move away from C++ (no contributions, requires more expertise)
\item Cons: Matlab/Octave users must also download Julia, a big project, speed (?)

\framesubtitle{Features}
\begin{itemize}
\item Add precompiler macros (\#include, \#define, \#if)
\item Add handling for several (sub-)models
\item Add indexed variables and control statements (if, loops) both in models and command language
\item Add sum, diff, prod operators
\item For unknown functions in the model: let user provide a derivative, or trigger numerical derivation
\item Generalize binary code output
\item Generalize block decomposition ?
\end{itemize}
\frametitle{Proposed changes with addition of Julia support (2/2)}
\begin{enumerate}
\suite
\item Create libraries out of the preprocessor
\begin{itemize}
\item Pros: Dynare interaction similar across HLPs, preprocessor used as is
\item Cons: difficult for outsiders to contribute, big project, not much benefit in speed when compared to\ldots
\end{itemize}
\item Write \texttt{mod} file from HLP then call preprocessor; option to output JSON file representing \texttt{ModFile} object at every step of the preprocessor
\begin{itemize}
\item Pros: Dynare interaction similar across HLPs, preprocessor used as is, minimal amount of work, easy incremental step, allows users to support any given HPL given the JSON output
\item Cons: unnecessary processing when certain changes made in host language, keeps defaults of current preprocessor, speed (?)
\end{itemize}
\item Other ideas?

\frametitle{Using HLP \texttt{mod} file objects (2/2)}
\begin{itemize}
\item Allows interactivity for all HLPs; requires only
\begin{itemize}
\item A definition of a mod file class in the HLP
\item A library function that converts an HLP mod file object to a \texttt{mod} file
\end{itemize}
\item Allows users to use Dynare with any HPL. Standard JSON output can be read in any HPL; user can use it construct desired HPL objects and work with model in their language of preference
\item Easy first step
\item No divergence of codebase: don't need to repeat code (checks, transformations, etc.) across platforms
\item Creates \texttt{mod} files that can be used on other host language platforms
\item Adds one more HLP library to distribute
\item Need to design/implement classes that will store processed dynare \texttt{mod} file in various HLPs
\end{itemize}
